That's why my suggested text says "when the inferior reaches any
breakpoint". I thought it was clear that "reaching a breakpoint"
means to get to the breakpoint's location. And when the inferior
reaches the breakpoint's location, it inevitably stops, right?

I don't mind making this more explicit, either:

If this function is defined in a sub-class of @code{gdb.Breakpoint},
it will be called when the inferior stops at any location of a
breakpoint which instantiates that sub-class.
