How can GDB/MI give the current frame (was Re: Changing "info frame" output?)

Very little. Just the address, procedure name, filename and line no. (if
available). I used the command "frame" initially, but its output wasn't as
consistent.

It sounds like all I would need is the lightweight call via MI. I called `my
command' "-stack-info-frame", after looking at the GDB manual, and out of
ignorance. "-stack-frame" might be more appropriate.
