My only caution here is that I find it handy that I can use single
stepping to debug many of the things I encounter in gdb, especially
the main event loop. When I've worked with lldb I've found single
stepping less useful and have had to rely on their builtin tracing
framework to usefully debug things. Peeling off tasks that aren't
part of the main event loop probably won't impact that, but I think
it's worth considering that tradeoff for future patches at least.
