Here is a revised implementation permanent breakpoints, which includes
the ability to continue past a permanent breakpoint, if the target
provides a macro explaining how to advance the PC past a breakpoint
instruction.
This all looks reasonable, if Michael and Jim I. are happy with their
respective bits. A possibly-interesting use relates to stubbed
programs that implement a breakpoint() function, which is effectively
a permanent breakpoint. Don't know if it would be really important,
since in practice users will tend to arrange their code so that
breakpoint() only ever gets called once.
