I can say for sure for some of the languages only. For sure, it will
work with c, c++, asm, minimal, objective-c. I made some experiments
by forcing the language to other values, and tried "break *main",
and it also worked for the following languages: fortran, java,
modula-2, and pascal. It did NOT work with scheme. We have users
from at least Fortran, Pascal and Modula-2, we should as them to
confirm.
