The Outside Context
-------------------

   Edebug tries to be transparent to the program you are debugging, but
it does not succeed completely.  Edebug also tries to be transparent
when you evaluate expressions with `e' or with the evaluation list
buffer, by temporarily restoring the outside context.  This section
explains precisely what context Edebug restores, and how Edebug fails to
be completely transparent.
