      After many design changes, including wholesale shifts in strategy, the code
      for breakpoints has become baroque. Many layers and many transformations
      are used. Information is cached in multiple places. And the code performs
      poorly - particularly when many breakpoints are set - since it uses
      sequential search.

      As a result, the code is difficult to maintain and gets more so with each
      release.

      The breakpoint code must be redesigned and rewritten from scratch.
