This looks good to me. I added a pull request with a couple minor tweaks. 
Unfortunately, I can't tell how to add a "skip news" label. This doesn't seem 
"big" enough to warrant it.

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou added the comment:

This looks like a good idea.
Of course, since we now have the python-gdb pluging which provides much more 
powerful diagnostics on modern gdbs, the usefulness of gdbinit is a bit reduced.

[issue15817] Misc/gdbinit: Expose command documentation to gdb help

[Alexander Belopolsky]

New submission from Alexander Belopolsky:

Currently help user-defined lists commands defined in Misc/gdbinit without 
explanations


(gdb) help user-defined
User-defined commands.
The commands in this class are those defined by the user.
Use the define command to define a command.

List of commands:

lineno -- User-defined
printframe -- User-defined
pu -- User-defined
pyframe -- User-defined
pyframev -- User-defined
pyg -- User-defined

With attached patch, you get


List of commands:

lineno -- User-defined
printframe -- User-defined
pu -- Generally useful macro to print a Unicode string
pyframe -- User-defined
pyframev -- Print the current frame - verbose
pyg -- Prints a representation of the object to stderr
pylocals -- Print the local variables of the current frame
pyo -- Prints a representation of the object to stderr
pystack -- Print the entire Python call stack
pystackv -- Print the entire Python call stack - verbose mode

This should be further polished, but I wanted to hear from others before 
spending more effort.
