Just FYI, I've this memory of GDB (or is it insight) doing something for
some cases already.  GDB quietly sets a breakpoint on the function's
exit code so that it can zap certain tempoary breakpoints when the
function exits.

There may well be a case for making the behavour consistent (however
standard disclaimer about this being my vague memory).
