We have several ways for achieving this, especially when taking the 
C++ization of the code in account. What do you think would be the best 
approach:

- commit patch I've done as a first step, then propose a new patch 
including '.*' support ?

- write a breakpoint location range parser similar to the tid (for 
thread) one in pure C style including the '.*' support ? In that case 
what about the C++ization ? Would it be done in the future ?

- Change the patch I've proposed to integrate '.*' support in the new 
C++ style function I wrote ?

Something else ?
