Description
Information from remake's debugger REPL can be rather verbose sometimes; it could be nice to have some post-processing capability, such as running grep on output. The shell command exists, but it seems kind of useless in isolation?
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15960180/how-to-grep-on-gdb-print lists some examples on how this is handled in GDB; and it seems relatively recent GDB has a pipe command.

Start by locating the debugger REPL command handling and the existing shell command. Review the linked GDB pipe examples to clarify the intended syntax and behavior. The work is done when REPL output can be passed through a post-processing command such as grep.
