+ writes), such as e.g., x86. We detect this case

+
+ 2.2. otherwise, the target supports read
+ watchpoints, but, the user set an access or write
+ watchpoint watching the same memory as this read
+ watchpoint.
+
+ If we're watching memory writes as well as reads,
+ ignore watchpoint hits when we find that the
+ value hasn't changed, as reads don't cause
+ changes. This still gives false positives when
+ the program writes the same value to memory as
+ what there was already in memory (we will confuse
