I thought of that; in fact, my first implementation was like that. However,
when I tested it, I saw that the rest of the breakpoint system numbered things
starting from zero (e.g. the first breakpoint you get is breakpoint 0), so
I changed the new stuff to do likewise.

Maybe we should change things so that breakpoints and everything else are
numbered from 1, just like events are. However, that would be a separate
change.
