I just spoke with Jim Ingham and he change my mind. If, every time you stop, you want to call a function, this feature could come in handy.
Behind the curtains it should: - install a ClangFunction down in the host and leave it there so it can be called (we do this internally with a few functions) - allow it to be called with a SBValueList.
