How about

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

or
   ^done,bkpt={number="2",type="wpt",...

instead?

I think leaving the breakpoint type out might not be a good idea,
since the response might not come in sync with the commands.  That is,
you could have sent several commands before you get the first
response.  In that case, you will not easily know which response is
for what command.
