Certainly one function at a time is preferable, but that's not always possible. 
I do think that this would be a useful feature for making bisection easier, 
since automating the injection of `pragma`s into code seems a lot more 
challenging. Of course, the `pragma` approach is nice for other reasons 
(letting people carve out entire functions for initialized/uninitialized, but I 
think that is orthogonal to the debugging aspect.

The counter could exist in ASTContext instead.
