I want to understand why you say this, because I think it essentially
kills all hope of making baby-steps towards projectless debugging.

It seems to me that the Eclipse CDT team prefers large atomic
contributions over small improvements. I can see why, but those
contributions are much rarer and much less likely unless some sponsor
steps.

This is particularly frustrating since CDT actually does work with
projectless local debugging as well or better than Insight in many
cases, with a couple of restraining bolts removed.

While I'm at it, I'd also like to understand why these "restraining
bolts" are put into the code in the first place.
