Thanks for implementing it :-)

Great. AFAICT -break-insert with a condition included always acts as if
-force-condition was included. i.e. "break method -force-condition if
symbol" is equivalent to "26-break-insert -c symbol -f method"

It is sufficient. I assume therefore that "N*" in a reply to break-insert
always means "warning: failed to validate condition
at location 1, disabling:" (What does the "1" refer to? IIUC it is the ".1"
in the breakpoint number?).

In the breakpoint table N* always means "Breakpoint condition is invalid at
this location" and that the breakpoint is disabled?
