> Edebug stops after PLACE and displays its "binding".  While that would

> But when PLACE is even unbound (e.g. and unbound variable, or an unbound
> eieio-object slot [a totally legitimate case!]), Edebug kicks me out of
> the session and raises an error.  Edebug can't be used for such code.
> That needs fixing.
