<<IMHO, a debugger should let you set a breakpoint in a particular
instance, or in all instances.  It shouldn't matter whether or not the
code is shared among some or all instances.  Yes, I agree that makes the
debugger more complex than it might otherwise be.>>

We have done a fairly extensive job of surveying requirements in this area,
and what we have found is that the much more important requirement is to
breakpoint a particular instantiation. The feature for breakpointing in
all isntantiations is considered much lower priority by most of our
users ... 

Not that it is so difficult to do ...
