There is another case where it doesn't work:
(gdb) break main -force-condition thread 1 if foo
Function "main -force-condition" not defined.
Make breakpoint pending on future shared library load? (y or [n])
This is because the commit required "-force-condition" to always be followed
by an "if". It seems unnecessarily restrictive. I'll submit a patch to relax
the requirement.
