apologies - I didn't "reply all" to this. For the record: I made an argument (in reply) about interactive tinkering, and setting "condition", and Guido replied essentially that "if condition: breakpoint()" is just as good for tinkering... a condition parameter to debuggers is not useful, and not as explicit.
Yes - agreed (and the `gist` which I tinkered w/ one day - I've now discarded ;-).
