Description

When one PendingBreakpoint corresponds to more than than one BoundBreakpoints, it's possible to disable only some of the BoundBreakpoints from Visual Studio debugger UI, but MIEngine simply ignores the disable/enable operation. IDebugBoundBreakpoint2.Enable should use MI commands like "=break-disable 2.1" to disable the corresponding BoundBreakpoint.

Research direction

Start at the IDebugBoundBreakpoint2.Enable implementation and trace how a PendingBreakpoint with multiple BoundBreakpoints handles enable and disable requests. Verify the MI command mapping for an individual binding, such as =break-disable 2.1, and consider the corresponding enable operation; done means Visual Studio can toggle one bound breakpoint without affecting its siblings.
