I'm hacking on GDB both for fun, and also as part of my job. More than
half of the total effort I spent on Python scripting support in GDB has
been on my spare time (I'm grateful though that IBM let me do this also
on my office hours (not all of it though, I have other tasks to do too),
it sure helps a lot). It's just that all of my posts to the GDB mailing
lists are from my IBM e-mail address.

I also do have fun when hacking GDB on my work time. :-)

I'm honestly interested in knowing if my fixes feel like "code slapping"
instead of elegant solutions, and willing to change my approach if it
doesn't imply an herculean effort to change half the toolchain plus
several standards to implement it.

I join Eli to say that I hope not!
