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".
