Thanks.

In my opinion, this is not a critical issue. IIUC, this is not a regression,
and the only issue is that, for the "main", the breakpoint will be placed
at a location such that the debugger will stop at the open curly brace.
So the user will need an extra "next".
I did notice that the fix gets rid of a lot of FAILs though.
If it was just me, I would categorize this as non release-critical.
But the rest of the group might disagree, so I'll defer to them.
