This is indeed a general issue that is worth looking at. But for the
specific case of breakpoint saving/restoring, can we just add a couple
of methods to the breakpoints class? The downside is that the code
has to be written in C, I guess, as opposed to python. Hmmm, we want
the glue code to be as minimal, right?
