That's not true. Here's a random example of a GDB command definition: c = add_cmd ("directory", class_files, directory_command, _("\ Add directory DIR to beginning of search path for source files.\n\ Forget cached info on source file locations and line positions.\n\ DIR can also be $cwd for the current working directory, or $cdir for the\n\ directory in which the source file was compiled into object code.\n\ With no argument, reset the search path to $cdir:$cwd, the default."), &cmdlist); What is that if not a doc string?
