Consider wanting to temporarily change e.g. 'print elements' from (default)
200 to 400 and then restore it back; all from python side.
Currently you'd have to do something like:
old = gdb.parameter('print elements')
gdb.execute('set print elements 400')
... whatever ...
gdb.execute('set print elements %d' % old)
It would be much more "pythonic" to have parameters implement a dictionary:
old = gdb.parameter['print elements']
gdb.parameter['print elements'] = 400
... whatever ...
gdb.parameter['print elements'] = old
