FWIW, I find the current emacs debug macros quite hard to remember in
all their subtle variation.  It would be nice to have the "main"
macros like pr and xbacktrace work intuitively in more cases (which I
think includes accepting an argument for pr -- everytime I debug emacs
after a long absence, I seem to try giving pr an argument a few times
before I remember how it works... :-), and deprecate the older less
flexible ones (they can be kept around for people with ancient
versions of gdb).
