It indeed only happens *if* there is a conditional in use. But if there
is things are going to be *really* slow :) I can ofcourse add it but I'm
not sure how useful this is. A conditional in combination with a
file/line breakpoint is already possible by specifying:
breakpoint_set -i 3 -t line -f file.php -n 42 -- base64(expression)
