<h2><a name="Breakpoints"></a>Breakpoints</h2>
<p>You now have a variety of options when specifying a breakpoint.&nbsp;
Breakpoints can also be disabled, and later re-enabled. &nbsp; This lets ones
set a bunch of breakpoints, and quickly re-activate them without having to
re-enter the breakpoint logic.</p>
