I guess the way they do it is by doing a reverse lookup after having
inserted the breakpoint (by using the "info line *ADDR" or its MI
equivalent)?  For IDEs, we could perhaps enhance the output to include
the actual line if different from the requested one.

Or, we could decide to change the break command to report the
actual line. I can poll the AdaCore engineers :).
