fwiw, I think the naming is important.  People come at the source from
various angles, starting points, and contexts.  I can imagine someone
getting tripped up (i.e. spending time doing something that they
otherwise wouldn't have) by reading "insert_watchpoint" and not
knowing it also applied to breakpoints.  Good names are important. (or
at least not obviously problematic names; picking good names is
sometimes hard, for me anyway).
