Remember that a gdb compatibility mode sufficient for usefully running the gdb 
testsuite would mean compatibility in the details of the output printing, not 
just the command input.  Even when working in gdb itself, you have to be very 
careful touching anything that affects output or you will cause massive 
testsuite failures (I speak from experience...)  Implementing this in lldb 
would not be a simple task.  The amount of effort it would require would be 
much more productively spent adding test cases to the extant test suite.
