One question I had is when, as a gdb user, would I want to see this
information?

Like others in the thread, I'm -1 on "info" as a prefix.
I liked "bt -shadow", but I was also wondering if the information should
just be integrated into the ordinary backtrace when available... that's
why I'm wondering when I'd want to see this.
