This seems like a useful command, but I don't think the implementation is 
right. Obviously you need to fix the indenting, having the address after the 
sp> and fp> not line up with the other memory entries makes this hard to read.  
But that's pretty trivial.

More importantly, it looks like you are just hand-coding the memory dump rather 
than using lldb's memory dumping code, which handles different output formats 
and the like.  After all, this is just a fancy version of "memory read" so it 
should support all the same options that does, and use the same code.  Please 
take a look at how that command works, and copy it.  Also look at how the 
option group for memory options work.  Your command should adopt that, so that 
these formatting options are available to users of the command.

It would be great if we could think of a better name than dump, maybe 
"show-memory"?  Dump is not very descriptive.  Greg's suggestion was to have 
this be "memory read --frame" which would dump the memory from the currently 
selected frame.  I actually think it's clearer as a part of the frame 
hierarchy, but don't have a strong feeling either way.

Also, I'm not sure showing the frame header in this case helps much, I think it 
makes the memory dump harder to see.  But I don't feel very strongly about that.

Thanks for the submission.  This does seem like a good addition, and if you use 
the facilities for memory display available in lldb, you can make it more 
flexible and consistent with the other commands that do the same sort of thing.
