Hi Volodya,

My initial opinion is that this does not make to much sense. The 2
different breakpoint really have nothing to do with each other.

I would think it could be possible to add a new MI command that would
allow you to arbitrarily delete, add or modify (enable/disable) as 
many breakpoints as you want. I think this would be a little more
general purpose.
