Subject: [Bug mi/12555] Hangup in MI commands if python StdStringPrinter used on uninitialized std::string

I don't think we should limit it by default.  As this would be an optional
switch, the default would be unlimited.  But a way for FEs to actually instruct
GDB/MI not to fetch any more than a sample is a good idea. Per command.  I'm
guessing this would really only be used when a new frame/block is entered and
the FE wants a representation of the variables in there without actually
fetching (much of) the uninitialized data?

I hack on the Python side of GDB, and I don't know a tremendous amount of MI,
and even less what MI consumers really want.  But this feature with Python GDB
pretty-printers is a persistent pain.  What do you all want?
