- Subject: Letters reserved for future use
In (gdb)Remote Serial Protocol, every upper- and lower-case letter
that is not given a meaning is marked individually as "reserved for
future use". This is kind of dopey. Could we just have one remark at
the top that says that all upper- and lower-case letters not defined
there are reserved for future use?
What should people looking to make vendor-specific extensions to the
protocol do? Are they required to stay within the general query /
general set commands, with a vendor prefix?
