I do wonder what will happen to the duplicate breakpoint message
eventually. Or situations where two different user breakpoints both
contain command lists and both map to the same machine breakpoint.
(Is that possible? Probably in the case of inlining.) But we
certainly don't have to worry about those sorts of issues right now.
