<p><small>GDB</small> allows Python-based frame filters to affect the output of
the MI commands relating to stack traces. As there is no way to
implement this in a fully backward-compatible way, a front end must
request that this functionality be enabled.
</p>
<p>Once enabled, this feature cannot be disabled.
</p>
<p>Note that if Python support has not been compiled into <small>GDB</small>,
this command will still succeed (and do nothing).
