Yes, but this isn't what happens for me. Instead, I get a vertical split and a new window with filetype=info. Is this not what happens for you? Its nice behavior, but as I explain above its not what happens with the underlying ':execute "r!info --subnodes --output - gcc"' command. I'm curious to understand why.
