I'm just going with the flow here.
The explicit locations patch did this (perhaps not
as parameterized as I've done here, but I am
improving the docs here - before it was just
"Give breakpoint numbers." and now it's
something vastly more useful).

The alternative is to describe such things (in this case
how to specify breakpoint/etc. numbers) in one place
and then add a "See mumble." to all the other places.
I actually did that, and then remembered the explicit
locations discussion. And then spent a lot of time
waffling "Crap, what will upstream accept?"
and in the decided to stick with existing practice.

I certainly don't want to replicate all that text again
and again (hence the macros).
