also each line in here could be prefixed with 'code action'
that led to the result on the line, like:

         * exec:              result:
         *
  	 * __test_function  - fd1 event breakpoint hit -> count1 == 1
         *                  - SIGIO is delivered       -> overflows == 1
         * sig_handler      - fd2 event breakpoint hit -> count2 == 1
         *                  - SIGUSR1 is delivered     -> overflows_2 == 1  (nested signal)
         *                  - sig_handler_2 return
         *                  - sig_handler return
         * incq (%rdi)      - fd3 event watchpoint hit -> count3 == 1       (wp and bp in one insn)
         *                  - SIGIO is delivered       -> overflows == 2

hum.. but it might take all the fun out of it ;-)
