This sounds great for interactive use. For breakpoints set by IDEs,
it would be useful to have flag saying "please mark this as pending".
For instance, Insight saves all the breakpoints you set. When opening
an old session, it tries to set them again programatically. In this
case we already know the breakpoint is ok (or was last time around,
which is "close enough"), so we'd like not to ask the user anything.
There are similar scenarios for Emacs and Eclipse.
