I missed a bit the context leading to the improvement you were
suggesting, but it was not my intention to say that you are "too
stupid to [...]" at all. This sounds like a harsh criticism of
yourself - perhaps a quirk of English not being our native language
for both of us.
In any case, as I said, I don't have a strong opinion. I know that
we want to both have concise error messages, while at the same time
making GDB more explanatory on some confusing or tricky situations.
This is a real conundrum.
