            Bug ID: 17203
           Summary: It should be an error to register a pre-existing
                    parameter.
           Product: gdb
           Version: HEAD
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: guile
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: xdje42 at gmail dot com

It should be an error to register a pre-existing parameter.

E.g., one can't extend a native gdb parameter.
And changing the meaning/operation of a pre-existing parameter will just
confuse users.

I'm not sure Python parameters can be fixed, but Guile parameters can be before
7.8 goes out.
