Step filtering is a very useful aspect of debugging for many people. Especially when using autoloaders and such which can end up being called several times every single request.

It seems it has not been re-implemented due to difficulties posed by the re-architecting in PDT 2 (See thread below). But I think it is something worth putting some time into.

-----------------

You could raise a Bugzilla enhancement so at least the request is recorded at.
