The good thing about MI is that it is very consistent.
But the options and arguments parsing is not and
that is giving some headaches.
The documentation says that options and arguments
can be separated by "--" and should be if the arguments
contains leading characters like "-". Unfortunately
not all understand "--" and use them as actual parameters
instead of separators.
comes to mind the -data-write-registers and data-write-memory
true they are still not documented 8-).
