vast numbers of unimplemented MI commands.

> For shared libraries we added the "future-break" command which will  keep trying to set a breakpoint till it takes.  We actually tried to  submit that a while ago, but there was no consensus whether this should  be a separate command, the default behavior of break, or what.  We got  distracted by some emergency, and this went no further.

That is simply not correct.  Tom Tromy pointed out a problem with the 
original change (that people would just use future-break) and Apple 
never responded.  Since then a proposal "fix break, not add 
future-break" has been posted:

and even you agreed.
