Basically, no.  We don't have any of the internal data structures of
the application in valid state.  We'd have to do an emacs-style
"undump" - and emacs takes all sorts of shortcuts to make this work.

Something you may want to look into is the new Python binding, which
makes it easier to write post-mortem inspection than the GDB CLI.
