There is a tracepoint similarity; one of the vague future-direction
ideas is to somehow refactor tracing and breaking so one could shift
back and forth freely, for instance to decide to collect some data at a
breakpoint, without having to do the formalized trace experiment setup.
I'm not sure what you mean by influencing "next"?
