Issue: Breakpoint Misfires on a Line with Multiple Statements

Problem:
When setting a breakpoint on a line with multiple statements, such as:

int x = 1; int y = 2;

or

public object MyObject { get => _myObject; set => _myObject = value; }

On Mobile (Android and iOS) or WebAssembly (WASM), Mono might only hit the first or last statement due to how it handles sequence points. This makes debugging on such lines unreliable.

Workaround: To ensure proper breakpoint hits, split each statement onto its own line:

int x = 1;
int y = 2;

public object MyObject 
{
    get => _myObject;
    set => _myObject = value;
}

Now, Mono will correctly hit each breakpoint as expected.
