Hello!

The output of -break-insert and -break-watch currently looks like this:

^done,bkpt={number="1",......

and

^done,wpt={number="2",.......

What is exactly the point of using different field names: "bkpt" and "wpt"?
This makes it impossible to get the number of set breakpoint in a uniform
fashion -- I need to have some conditional on the type of breakpoint, or
add logic that checks if "bkpt" or "wpt" is present in reply.

Why can't we have just:

^done,number="1"

? And this can be done in backward-compatible way, btw.
