+    A custom command for putting breakpoints on the execute hook of passes.
+    This is largely a workaround for issues with tab-completion in gdb when

+    Example of use: putting a breakpoint on "final"
+      (gdb) break-on-pass
+    Press <TAB>; it autocompletes to "pass_":

+    Press "n"; then type "f":
