OK, sounds good to me.

>> IIUC maybe they are sometimes needed by Guile 2.0?

They’re the only way to change the size of the memory port’s internal
buffer on 2.0, but I can’t think of a use case where one really needs
that control.

>> How long is that expected to be around?

If this goes into gdb 10, my suggestion is to remove Guile 2.0 support
in gdb 11.  We’re keeping it just to make the transition smoother.

Thanks,
Ludo’.
