Bug description

Sorry to have sent you so many emails. I've come to realise that bug 3732
is not a fault in ocamldebug, but instead a fault in its documentation.
The breakpoints work exactly as they are meant to, it's just that they
work in a way that is very unintuitive to me and they are not well
documented.

In the interest of saving future developers some of the hastle I had to go
through, I highly recommend improving the descriptions of the different
classes of event points and how break points work with them. The
documentation should be very explicit, but right now it is fairly vague.
I'd be willing to help write this documentation myself, though I can't do
so immediately since there are some rather pressing deadlines to consider.
However, I would gladly write up a detailed description of how the
breakpoints work, to my understanding, and submit that for review and
eventual addition to the documentation, if you would so wish.

Anyway, feel free to close this bug. The problem was mine, not yours.

Thank you, and, again, sorry for the inconvenience.
