Hah! I thought that the line numbers were because GDB tries to find
the first line that matches, starting from the given one...

I think that the syntax itself should be accepted, and that it's not
a bug (operators are functions). But we probably do not want to
perpetuate the bug where the line number is ignored :-).

I was hoping that we'd be able to handle this in the parser?
I am not completely familiar with the new code yet, so it's just
a wild guess.

I am almost done with the extension of operator_bp.exp; I'll send it
when I've removed all the typos and thinkos...

Thanks!
