That might be okay as well, but I consider the method of numbering breakpoints as not an ideal one, either. It's impossible to manage more than 3 breakpoints without "info breakpoints". More mnemonic names could have allowed us to know what breakpoint we need to use without consulting the table displayed by "info breakpoints".
