Evaluation
----------

   While within Edebug, you can evaluate expressions "as if" Edebug
were not running.  Edebug tries to be invisible to the expression's
evaluation and printing.  Evaluation of expressions that cause side
effects will work as expected, except for changes to data that Edebug
explicitly saves and restores.  Note: The Outside Context, for details
on this process.

`e EXP <RET>'
     Evaluate expression EXP in the context outside of Edebug
     (`edebug-eval-expression').  That is, Edebug tries to minimize its
     interference with the evaluation.

`M-: EXP <RET>'
     Evaluate expression EXP in the context of Edebug itself.

`C-x C-e'
     Evaluate the expression before point, in the context outside of
     Edebug (`edebug-eval-last-sexp').

   Edebug supports evaluation of expressions containing references to
lexically bound symbols created by the following constructs in `cl.el'
(version 2.03 or later): `lexical-let', `macrolet', and
`symbol-macrolet'.
