How about "user breakpoints" and "machine breakpoints"?
I like it.
Daniel, did you mention somewhere that the debugger book used "logical"
and "physical" breakpoint? If it does, it might be better to adopt its
terminology here.
We should think of what would be most meaningful to the user --
not to us. What would "machine breakpoint" mean to a user?
