LINR might be converted to a string field, which would allow the desired
behaviour (and permit the addition of new breakpoint tables at run-time). 
Another problem with the enum is that it really should be dynamic
according to the breakpoint tables actually loaded into the IOC, but it
isn't.  However switching to a string will probably break some existing
databases and displays, so I expect it to be rejected.
