+/// debug information. Additional target-specific capabilities may be possible depending on
+/// debuggers or other tooling; in particular, a debugger may be able to resume execution.
+///
+/// If possible, this will produce an instruction sequence that allows a debugger to resume *after*
+/// the breakpoint, rather than resuming *at* the breakpoint; however, the exact behavior is
+/// target-specific and debugger-specific, and not guaranteed.
+///
+/// If the target platform does not have any kind of debug breakpoint instruction, this may compile
+/// to a trapping instruction (e.g. an undefined instruction) instead, or to some other form of
+/// target-specific abort that may or may not support convenient resumption.
+///
+/// The precise behavior and the precise instruction generated are not guaranteed, except that in
+/// normal execution with no debug tooling involved this will not continue executing.
+///
+/// - On x86 targets, this produces an `int3` instruction.
+/// - On aarch64 targets, this produces a `brk #0xf000` instruction.
+// When stabilizing this, update the comment on `core::intrinsics::breakpoint`.
