The only thing that might be added (I haven't looked in a while, but
didn't see it last time I did), is some naming convention issues.  I
follow pretty standard Smalltalk guidelines:

       - No '_', use camelCase for seps

       - Capitalize all Classes, and also global variables

       - Lowercase for all methods (i.e. setNewBreakpoint)

This is just me, and obviously not everyone does this :-)
