Yeah, I think there may be some useful features along these lines that
could be done.  There's nothing pre-canned, though.

I do tend to think that debugging multiple totally unrelated inferiors
is unusual.  That is, gdb will probably provide more benefit than you
might ordinarily expect.

Though, based on bug reporting rates, I think any kind of multi-inferior
debugging is still very rare.
