/**
 * A reenter step request is a step event request that will be activated when
 * the given thread is about to pop the top stack frame. At this point, the VM
 * is expected to do the following:
 * <ol>
 * <li>The arguments to the method are carefully set aside, along with the
 * identity of the actual method.
 * <li>The stack frame is popped. Any value being returned is discarded. Any
 * exception being thrown is ignored. Instruction counter in caller is set
 * <i>at</i> (rather than after) the send bytecode.
 * <li>Suspend the thread depending on the suspend policy and report a
 * <code>StepEvent</code> for this request.
 * <li>When the thread is resumed, the method is re-retrieved; if the class had
 * recently been reloaded, this must find the new bytecodes. If the method is no
 * longer present, throw a <code>java.lang.NoSuchMethodError</code> as specified
 * in the Java VM Specification.
 * <li>The method is entered as per normal, using the saved arguments.
 * </ol>
 * <p>
 * Note that other events may need to be reported as well (e.g., hit breakpoint
 * on first instruction). Execution does not reenter the caller at any point; so
 * no step out or step into events are reported.
