mi-var-cmd.exp sounds good to me. I don't think we need it in
mi2-var-cmd.exp. I have the same question I asked a moment ago about
Nick's patch - is there any chance that someone relies on this
information?
Here I think the chance is pretty slim; for pointers it's a more
serious concern, but for functions this is a pretty rare case.
So not versioning this change makes sense to me.
