I don't see any problem with this logic.  Do you?

It's possible to use 5.3, although I'd then expect that number to
appear in "info break 5", like this:

(gdb) info break 5
Num   Type          Enb Address    What
5.1   sw breakpoint  y  0x8040222  inlined into foo
5.2   sw breakpoint  y  0x8040822  inlined into bar
5.3   sw breakpoint  y  0x8040852  inlined into boring_loop

However, I'm also uneasy about "delete 5.3", and in addition I'm
afraid that having two sets of breakpoint numbers will mess up things
in the long run.  So how about the following?

(gdb) info break 5
Num Type          Enb Address    What
5   sw breakpoint  y  0x8040222  inlined into foo
5   sw breakpoint  y  0x8040822  inlined into bar
5   sw breakpoint  y  0x8040852  inlined into boring_loop
(gdb) disable 5 *0x8040852

In other words, let's allow the user to specify an optional location
in addition to the breakpoint number.

We could even use "disable *0x8040852".
