Hmm, why do we even care at this point? How about we take a step back and
_first_ think about making the common use-cases working properly instead of
optimizing for seldomly used features. We can always break BC later on if
we find out that we need to to support such things.

And yes, this can also include dropping the idea of multiple debugged
applications at the same time - at least for 4.0.
