Thanks.

Why did you need to remove one of the two spaces between these
sentences?

And here you have 3 instead of 2.

"if @var{type} is @code{BP_WATCHPOINT}" is simpler and more clear, IMO.

There's no need to go through identifiers.  How about this rewording?

  This attribute tells whether the breakpoint is visible to the user
  when set, or when the @samp{info breakpoints} command is run.

Thanks.
