It occurred to me today that we could probably handle this via a new
option to "break" et al.
For the SystemTap probes rebase, after ambiguous linespecs are done, I'm
planning to add a "-p" option to mean "parse as a SystemTap probe":
break -p provider:name
I think this doesn't clash with any historical use.
So, we could look for a flag first thing and switch to "split syntax":
break -s sourcefile -f function -l line
I don't immediately see any problems with this.
