Yes, I'm going back to how I originally named those files. That's why I decided 
to work on this.

IIRC Daniel's reason was because of the build process. He didn't want to have 
.o files named differently from their .c files. I suppose we'll have that 
discussion when I post this upstream, unless Daniel reads the archer list.

Regarding the break command, I agree with you in that GDB should be smarter 
here. I can volunteer to make GDB smarter if that's an issue in this 
discussion...

One of us is misremembering Daniel's reason to request that the .c names be 
changed.

If we use py-block.c, then we might as well keep the current python-block.c 
name.

Agreed. That's not why I'm doing these patches. ;-)
