Build Identifier: Version: Indigo Service Release 2. Build id: 20120216-1857

Please consider adding a variant of "step over" which ignores line breaks, i.e. always executes a full statement. E.g. i'd like to step over code
  r =
    f(x, y);
in one step, not one for evaluating f(x, y) and one for the assignment.

If such a "step over statement" is added, the existing "step over" should maybe be renamed to "step over line".

(In our team, many line breaks are just "noise" added by a formatting tool. Thus, they have nothing to do with logical structure and chunks to treat as one step. I guess that applies to many projects/companies.)

Reproducible: Always
