fwiw, over time one hopes documentation gets larger and larger.
This has the consequence of reducing the signal/noise ratio of
"RTFM" more and more.
It'd be nice if people got in the habit of specifying where exactly
in the documentation to look.  e.g.

bash$ info -f gdb.info -n foobar
and grep for baz.

is more than sufficient.

[I'm not suggesting you should know what to replace foobar and baz with.
Rather, that it would have been nice if the original response did.]
