I have a suggestion for this, in form of a patch. How
about we just print the breakpoint range? I find this:
(top-gdb) rbreak main
...
...
(top-gdb) commands
Type commands for breakpoint(s) 3-80, one per line.
End with a line saying just "end".

(top-gdb) commands

as in the latter case, I didn't specify any breakpoints, so
"specified breakpoints" sounds vague, and doesn't quickly
imply that it will create commands for all previously created
breakpoints.

I'm also suggesting to adjusting these to better explain that
this applies when "break" (or similars) creates more than one
breakpoint. That is different to creating a breakpoint with
multiple locations ("multiple locations" are described both
in the manual and in NEWS); in the multiple locations case,
"commands" already applied to all locations. I'm adding
a cross reference to where the case where multiple breakpoints
are created is described; that section has a nice example.
WDYT?
