Can you be a bit more precise?

What do you mean more and more?

You have two outstanding issues that I know of:

1. gdb & resetart/reset. This looked relatively straightforward to
handle in a better fashion, but I want the problem to stew a bit.
2. having reset(no parameters) do different things for different targets.

The second is somewhat  obscure and ingenious use of side effects of
implementation.  I don't want to complicate the implementation
or the life of normal users, so I'm thinking in terms of a scheme that
does not inconvenice normal users, but allows for more powerful
target scripts to be defined. Also the second scheme is not
very flexible. A more flexible way of handling targets becomes important
with heterogenous chains as has been discussed on the list.
