What if you allowed multiple "resume" commands in the "top level"
breakpoint only, and allowed "nested" breakpoints only if they
either stopped execution (in which case execution stops) or if
the only "resume" they did was a tail-call-like continue.
If a nested breakpoint's command list does a resumption with a
non-tail-continue, execution stops.
