Yeah, I think this distinction generally makes sense.
However, I thought of one other reason we might prefer a catchpoint: if
we add "objfile:"-style linespecs ("break libc.so:malloc"), then we are
going to run into trouble if anybody tries to debug a program named
"probe" -- because "break probe:spec" is handled pretty early in
linespec.
Let me know what you think. In the absence of comments I am going to
implement this.
Tom
