Nope, sorry, what I'm suggesting is diagnosing and fixing this problem
first, then putting your patch in subsequently.

Yes, I agree, and I think that's why the direction linespec is headed is
a good one. But, temporarily setting current_language is how gdb has
worked for a long time, and if that broke, it probably means a
regression or bug elsewhere. And, linespec isn't actually fully
parameterized like this anyway.
