Tell HN: It is possible to have "breakpoint groups"
During years of debugging, I keep running into the same thing. I can either disable breakpoints globally, or re-enable them globally. So when I'm debugging something, say an iOS app in XCode, I have to click through a million breakpoints to get to what I want.

Why don't IDEs simply implement "breakpoint sets", whereby I could enable one set or another? Maybe even copy breakpoints between them? It would be a lot better for developers, with seemingly no downside.

Upon some research I found that this is, in fact, possible, and wanted to share with the developer community here.
