   NAME is the name of the parameter.  It may consist of multiple
   words, in which case the final word is the name of the new parameter,
   and earlier words must be prefix commands.

   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!.  */
