implies that @code{until} can be used to skip over recursive function
invocations. For instance in the code below, if the current location is
line @code{96}, issuing @code{until 99} will execute the program up to
line @code{99} in the same invocation of factorial, i.e. after the inner
invocations have returned.

Continue running the program up to the given location. An argument is
required, anything of the same form as arguments for the @code{break}
command. Execution will also stop upon exit from the current stack
frame. This command is similar to @code{until}, but @code{advance} will
not skip over recursive function calls, and the target location doesn't
have to be in the same frame as the current one.
