I'm currently working against current pristine mainline.

My changes aren't as near complete as yours, so I don't think
there's much chance for me to win such a race.  :-)  But note
I haven't done anything like making:

  [2.*:3.*] break main

look for `main' in inferiors 2 and 3, and I don't plan to.  I'm leaving
the symbol search side out, as we'll get most of that from your
changes, with some kind of extra filtering.

There's a bunch left to try/do that doesn't touch linespec / symbol
filtering.  So I have absolutely no problem with seeing your changes
go in, and picking them up that way.  If I get further enough in
progress before your patch lands, I'll rebase on top of it.

I'll try to post the WIP code somewhere soon, so you (all) can
take a look.
