   NAME is the name of the parameter.  It may consist of multiple

   CMD-CLASS is the kind of command.  It should be one of the COMMAND_*
   constants defined in the gdb module.

   PARAM_TYPE is the type of the parameter.  It should be one of the
   PARAM_* constants defined in the gdb module.

   If PARAM-TYPE is PARAM_ENUM, then ENUM-LIST is a list of strings that
   are the valid values for this parameter.  The first value is the default.

   SET-FUNC, if provided, is called after the parameter is set.
   It is a function of one parameter: the <gdb:parameter> object.
   It must return a string to be displayed to the user.
   Setting a parameter is typically a silent operation, so typically ""
   should be returned.

   SHOW-FUNC, if provided, returns the string that is printed.
   It is a function of two parameters: the <gdb:parameter> object
   and the current value of the parameter as a string.

   DOC, SET-DOC, SHOW-DOC are the doc strings for the parameter.

   INITIAL-VALUE is the initial value of the parameter.

   The result is the <gdb:parameter> Scheme object.
   The parameter is not available to be used yet, however.
   It must still be added to gdb with register-parameter!.  */
