Certainly.  I was just pointing out that the "disassembly"
command could have said option.  I had a hook-stop in mind --- if it
had such an option already, the user could could just set a hook-stop

Of course, I don't disagree.  Daniel surely mentioned "x/i", because
"display" takes the exact same formats as the "x" command does.
