Deleting a Display

Deleting a Display

[Adam Jocksch]

Now that we can create expression displays with the hpd, what should the 
syntax be to delete a display? 'delete' is currently being used to 
remove breakpoints, should it work with displays as well? The other 
thought I had was something like display remove <expr>.

Any other ideas/suggestions?

Looking through the hpd I see the following:
 > delete {actionpoint-list | -enabled | -disabled | -break | -watch | 
-barrier | -all}
 > actions  {actionpoint-list | -enabled | -disabled | -break | -watch | 
-barrier}
 > disable  {actionpoint-list | -enabled | -disabled | -break | -watch | 
-barrier}
 > enable  {actionpoint-list | -enabled | -disabled | -break | -watch | 
-barrier}

It seems to me that we want all of these to apply to displays as well. 
Is there any particular reason that we shouldn't do this? Otherwise I'll 
move ahead and implement them.

I can't think of one :-)  "delete <display-number>" would seem very 
intuitive.

eradicate <display-number> ?
expunge <display-number> ?
eliminate-with-extreme-prejudice <display-number> ?
