I don't think so (that it was he case). However, I think the new behavior
is more useful in practice (from our experience in Ada at least), and
the old behavior can be restored if some users are really attached to it.
We actually made that change in behavior in the AdaCore version, and no
complaints so far. Given all that, I think the change is for the better.
The multiple-location breakpoint work already set the debugger in that
direction, and this patch is another logical step towards it.

I will make sure that the NEWS entry makes it clear that there is
a change of behavior.
