No, but it does explain why adding the word `GUD' (Grand Unified Debugger)
to these names wouldn't be a good idea. ^^^^^^^

I didn't know that a menu entry can have three parts. I have used the term
GDB-UI on previous occasions. Perhaps that could be used, although clearly
it doesn't carry the recognition that the word GUD has. As in:
@menu
* Window Layout: GDB-UI Window Layout. Control the number of displayed buffers.
* Breakpoints Buffer:: A breakpoint control panel.
* Stack Buffer:: Select a frame from the call stack.
* Watch Expressions:: Monitor variable values in the speedbar.
* Other Buffers: Other GDB-UI Buffers. Input/output, locals, registers,
assembler, threads
and memory buffers.
@end menu
