It lets +you see exactly what happens at each step of the expansion process by +pretty-printing the expanded forms inline in the source buffer, which is +temporarily read-only while macro expansions are visible. You can expand and +collapse macro forms one step at a time, and evaluate or instrument the +expansions for debugging with Edebug as normal (but see “Bugs and known +limitations”, below). Single-stepping through the expansion is particularly +useful for debugging macros that expand into another macro form. These can be +difficult to debug with Emacs’ built-in macroexpand, which continues expansion +until the top-level form is no longer a macro call.") + (license license:gpl3+))))
