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.
