The general form of this can be quite baffling to the user. Suppose
you are debugging and you "next" over a function call. And suppose
somewhere deep within that call, something throws an exception, which
is caught by your caller... suddenly your "next" acts like "continue".

to stop execution at the point where the exception is caught.
