I don't have a strong opinion on it either, which is why I am interested
in other people's thoughts on it. What was your own motivation behind
this? I guess some user inserted a watchpoint on something constant,
and then waited for ages for the watchpoint to trigger, thinking that
the slowness was due to the watchpoint, not his, er... silliness :-P?
