On the other hand, with overloaded procedures, it is normal
to want to break on only one. For instance, when debugging
gnat, there are lots of cases of a C routine in the back end
and an Ada routine in the front end having the same name,
and you definitely want to be able to break on one without
breaking on the other. The current menu method in the
Ada version of GDB is convenient for this and I don't
see any alternative that is as convenient, let alone more
convenient.
