+This is a work-in-progress replacement for PEDA. 
+I was originally just going to use the [GEF code from Hugsy](https://github.com/hugsy/re-stuff.git)
+but then I went a bit overboard.
+
+In particular, it's designed to be fast*, failure-tolerant**, and eventually portable
+to Python27/Python3 as well as GDB/LLDB.
+
+Currently it works on GDB with Python3.
+
+\* Lots of use of `gdb.event` to manage cache lifetimes.
