For me, the case of inlining is very different from the case of an
Ada instantiation or from overloading. I find it hard to imagine
wanting to breakpoint one particular inline instance. In fact it
really seems conceptually wrong, whether a function is inlined
or not is an implementation detail that should not affect debugging
at all.
