A minor stylistic point: could we please avoid the annoying
"Likewise"s?  The canonical way of writing a ChangeLog entry for
several functions with an identical change is this:

	(bpstat_find_breakpoint, bpstat_find_step_resume_breakpoint)
	(bpstat_num, print_it_typical): Look at bpstat's location's
 	owner, not at bpstat->breakpoint_at.

I'm quite sure the GNU coding standards describe this.  (Yes, I know
that our ChangeLog's abuse "Likewise" too much.)

Is the assumption in the comment above really valid?  I happen to put
several breakpoints on the same line quite a lot (each breakpoint has
a different condition and/or different commands list).

Can we do better, even if it requires to try harder?

Watchpoints also?  Did you make corresponding changes in the code that
sets watchpoints?

Thanks.
