This is for the (abstract) base-class, I assume.

We don't store any data in the base class so the Python object would
contain the PyObject header and nothing else, correct?

And the above functions would throw an exception or return None.
Correct?

This is for the BtraceInstruction derived class, I assume.  That's essentially
what Tim implemented.  Correct?

This doesn't look too far away from what we have in GDB today.

Thanks,
