As I wrote earlier, the second sentence is inaccurate/incomplete.

Likewise. Also, the text should say explicitly that the setting will
not affect any aspect of GDB behavior during the current session.

Once again, this has been already documented elsewhere in the manual,
and in more detail. Please leave here just the cross-reference to
that place, and please call that file "startup file", for consistency
with the terminology there.

I think the doc string should mention that the setting has no effect
in this session.
