Description
I have a huge set of makefiles.
I need to find what creates a certain directory.
I would like to set a breakpoint that triggers:
- when a command that matches
.+mkdir.+problem_directory$is executed.
The current breakpoints are useful when you know what file and line you want to stop at, but they cannot stop when a certain file is accessed.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing the existing breakpoint handling and command-execution path, then determine how regex matching should integrate with them. Done means a breakpoint can stop when an executed command matches the requested pattern, with tests covering the matching behavior.
