What about a remote protocol command that says "single step until you leave the range - ". I suppose it would call for a new target vector, eg. to_step_range, but it could be a great optimization for slow remote targets, for doing statement-level stepping, and would kinda fit right into infrun as if they were made for each other. Seems like the last discussion I can find was in 2001... Would this for instance be a candidate for the new vCont extension?
