 * They usually require multiple events step, and otherwise, before they
 * complete. While a step request is pending, we may need to temporarily
 * disable and re-enable stepping, but we can't just remove the handlers
 * because that would break the application's ability to remove the
 * events. So, for step events only, we directly enable and disable stepping.
