In response to a request like "break function", gdb will currently
search all objfiles for "function" -- and the request will succeed
even if "function" is private.
This means that gdb cannot start using the debug_pubnames index without
also exhibiting different behavior.
So, it might be nice to have a corresponding "debug_privnames" section,
listing all private names. Then, gdb could merge the two indices and
preserve the behavior its users are accustomed to.
