The 'info variables', its alias 'whereis', and 'info functions' all
include non-debug symbols in the output by default. The list of
non-debug symbols can sometimes be quite long, resulting in the
debug symbol based results being scrolled off the screen.
This commit adds a '-n' flag to all of the commands listed above that
excludes the non-debug symbols from the results, leaving just the
debug symbol based results.
