For code that is transofrmed by a marco, there sometimes isn't line information which makes it impossible to add a breakpoint. The ability to add a breakpoint to the current state would let you better debug this type of code.

Research direction

Start by tracing how Debugger.jl currently creates breakpoints and represents code transformed by a macro when line information is missing. The work is done when a breakpoint can be added at the current debugging state for such code and its behavior is verified.
