A suitable index entry would be good here.

"in observation mode", I presume.

Also, the above sentence is ambiguous: it took me a while to
understand that "all of these" refer to the settings described in this
section.  Please say that explicitly.

Need two spaces here (and in a few other places in the patch).

This is also relevant to setting breakpoints, right?  If so, I suggest
to mention them.

Is this useful behavior?  I'd assume that setting these to off would
silently fail the operation.  Otherwise, how would these settings be
useful?  They exist to allow uninterrupted program run, don't they?

No _() around a message here.

Thanks.
