Well, I haven't seen anyone disagree.

This was a wonderfully informative, if somewhat disordered, discussion. 
I have a lot of messages flagged that I would still like to respond to,
and I think I'll try to summarize the issues and alternatives discussed
and mail them to gdb@, where this conversation should really happen.
It'll be a little while; I haven't had much time for GDB lately.

Does anyone disagree with the "breakpoint" and "location" convention
for now?  Michael, with the change from impl_breakpoint to bp_location,
are the patches I posted OK?  Just let me know if you'd like me to
update and repost them first.

I'd like to:
  - get those cleanups cleaned up and in
  - create a branch for more exploratory work; I think that to design
    anything much beyond here I'm simply going to need more
    implementation experience to talk from.
  - then raise more conversation when I have a base to work on.
