Btw, while working on Nick's proposals, I found myself confused wrt
the connection, if any, between the feature described in "Breakpoint
Menus" and the multiple-location breakpoints that was the subject of
this thread.

Are these features the same (i.e., is the format of the
multiple-locations breakpoint listing described in "Set Break" what we
use for breakpoints set from the menu described in "Breakpoint
Menus")?  Or are they two different features?

If the former, won't additional locations, which we didn't select from
the menu, appear in the list of locations as result of loading shared
libraries that define additional overloaded variants of the function
in which we wanted to break?

If the latter, I cannot seem to find the description of how multiple
locations come into existence in the first place anywhere in the
manual.  Am I missing something?
