Yes, having 2 gdb plugins is a duplicate.
No, I coundn't do it inside debugger. The communication with gdb is
async, which requires very different code, and the UI is not very
similar either, except for having a debug page with subpages...

That's "pty_master" only. I haven't checked with vte 0.25+ recently,
and never with 0.30+.
