(It took a bit of digging to find the last version of the patch - I 
probably missed it because the patch was attached as a binary, including 
the changelog entry.)

Anyway, I really like the concept, and "skip" seems like a good general 
term for the functionality.

I skimmed the April version, and noticed a few things to fix up.

The file headers say things like "Header for GDB line completion.", 
which I'm guessing is cut-n-paste from another file. :-)  Also it's now 
2011, not 2010.

There's a lot of change of terminology from "default breakpoint" to 
"displayed codepoint".  I know we've debated better substitutes for 
"breakpoint", but this patch is maybe not the best place to introduce 
one.  (Or I'm confused about what "codepoint" means, I didn't see a 
definition.)

I didn't see a patch for the GDB manual, so I'm not sure of the intended 
functionality details.

If you update the patch and resubmit, I promise I'll give it a prompt 
review.
