If I have a program like:

class A {
public:
  int AMethod() { return 100; }
};

class AA {
public:
  int AMethod() { return 200; }
};

int
main()
{
  A myA;
  AA myAA;
  myA.AMethod();
  myAA.AMethod();
  return 0;
}

Build and run it under lldb, and do:

(lldb) b s -n A::AMethod
Breakpoint 1: 2 locations.
(lldb) break list
Current breakpoints:
1: name = 'A::AMethod', locations = 2
  1.1: where = many_names`A::AMethod() + 8 at many_names.cpp:3:19, address = 
many_names[0x0000000100000f78], unresolved, hit count = 0 
  1.2: where = many_names`AA::AMethod() + 8 at many_names.cpp:8:19, address = 
many_names[0x0000000100000f88], unresolved, hit count = 0 

I think that's wrong.  The point of the fuzziness in -n is that you can leave 
out containing namespaces, or arguments, and we'll still match what you've 
given us.  But IMO that should only expand the search into containing contexts. 
 It is surprising to me that if I specify A::AMethod, I also match the one in 
the namespace AA.  If you wanted to match .*A::AMethod, you could do that with 
a regular expression.  But there's no easy way to not pick up extra breakpoints 
if you happen to have overlaps like this, so it seems like expanding -n to 
strstr type matches seems like a bad idea.

I wondered if other folks thought this was desirable behavior.
