This is something that I _definitely_ intend to pursue.  In order to do
it we'd have to find a way to add the flexibility GDB needs without
impacting the performance of the C++ parser....

Of course, for this to become a reality is sorta way down my list;
it'll require some fundamental architecturing we don't have.
