 - 
 - <p>For the developers convenience CLI commands can be entered directly,
 - but there may be some unexpected behaviour.  For example, commands
 - that query the user will behave as if the user replied yes, breakpoint
 - command lists are not executed and some CLI commands, such as
 - <code>if</code>, <code>when</code> and <code>define</code>, prompt for further input with
 - ‘<samp>></samp>’, which is not valid MI output.
 - </p>
 - <p>This feature may be removed at some stage in the future and it is
 - recommended that front ends use the <code>-interpreter-exec</code> command
 - (see <a href="GDB_002fMI-Miscellaneous-Commands.html#g_t_002dinterpreter_002dexec">-interpreter-exec</a>).
