Thanks Jed. I was a software engineer on the Visual Studio team (at Microsoft) and the Xcode team (at Apple).
I agree that the *default* behavior should mimic pdb but adding "debug to breakpoint" as optional functionality seems harmless (and quite useful). I can't think of another debugger which acts this way. The implementation change would be trivial. If you like I can suggest the required changes.
