Hi Daniel

thank you for your feedback.

Although I do have some background in C programming, these naming
schemes are not my idea. Instead the function names match the names of
the corresponding GDB/MI commands. I thought it would make sense to
use these names for ease of reference. Given this, would you still
prefer them being grouped in separate modules?

Gdbmi.Commands is not the only module that depends on the GDB version.
GDB/MI is in general still evolving and GDB's compliance with the
documentation keeps on changing on all levels. So I would have to
maintain all hgdbmi modules for each GDB version. Do you think this
makes sense and is worth the effort?
