I understood the "one source" part at face value: meaning, we are
setting a breakpoint on a single source line, which just happens to
have several translations in the machine code.  From that perspective,
using this feature for rbreak would be an abuse, I think, as rbreak
sets breakpoints on many source lines that have nothing in common
except the names of the functions.
