Afterwards I realized, $DB::single is to be used as a bitmask.
So it would be 8 instead of 3, since 4 is already taken.
Details, details ;-)
The only difference should be the execution of grep/map/sort/...
I either use 's' to do small steps or use 'n' with the intention to
do bigger steps. But currently I cannot get this behaviour. It is
not exactly what is documented, but this is what my expectation is
(silly me).

If you mean:
1. n - next step over everything (including grep/map/sort).
2. s - step into everything (including grep/map/sort).
3. forget nn and N.
Then I would think this would be (mostly very) intuitive change, and
the behaviour (most) people would expect from the debugger, most of
the time. You'd have to check for unwarranted side effects of
course, such that blocks other than single-line grep, map and sort,
remain unaffected, but otherwise it seems to me to be a good idea.
Ok, here is what I did, patch is against Perl 5.10.0.
Please review, thanks. My simple tests worked so far.
Greetings, Heiko
