No, it is not.  We could add it, but of course existing remote stubs
won't tell us which it is.  I guess it depends: are there any targets
where it varies based on how you're connected?

There's room in the world for such a thing: an x86 simulator (like,
say, qemu) might offer steppable or non-steppable watchpoints instead
of continuable ones.
