This is definitely possible in case someone is looking to implement it. What the break point system does is to recompile the module with a case clause that triggers the breakpoint. Therefore you should be able to get the behaviour above as long as you change the breakpoint system to compile a pattern match on those arguments. Please open up an issue and we may be able to add this on Elixir v1.6.
