  * Dynamic breakpoints in GHCi
  
  This patch adds dynamic breakpoints to GHCi
  
  
  There is a new ':breakpoint' command to manage breakpoints.
  GHCi simply uses the breakpoint api functions in ghc-api to install itself as a client.
  The mechanism used by GHCi to keep track of enabled breakpoints is a simple table.
  
  When a breakpoint is hit, a new interactive session is launched and the bindings in the breakpoint are injected. Some commands are disabled in this sub session
