I think it should be possible for most of lldb not to care which direction we happen to be going in.  We just need to know the current direction, or the intended direction of the active thread plan.  If we have to start putting in lots of special purpose logic for forward and backward outside of the ProcessGDBRemote plugin, I think we're doing it wrong.
But that's going to be harder to do if we start having a bunch of forward and reverse specific functions, since they all act as sites where you forget the "current direction" and then have to re-infer it later on.  It's particularly awkward having some take a direction and some be special purpose forward or backward.
