I get it. The random user won't (from the filename, or the doc string as it was).

Alright, now I understand where the confusion is coming from.
For me the default wasn't what showed up (and, in my minibuffer history, which is persistent for me, I chose "--annotate <exec-name>").
Started with -Q, I get the correct default. If the user doesn't have to figure out the right command line arguments for gdb, I think the current solution will work.
