Yes, I will do this. But just now I'm debugging gud in order to
stabilize the patch. I'm running into problems with perldb; the change
in gud-common-init doesn't seem to be sufficient.

There might be different requirements. I, for example, work on dozens
of remote machines in parallel (all machines from our test floor). A
simple "R" indication in the mode line wouldn't help in my use
case. Likely it is sufficient just to document possible approaches.
