_If_ you are in an Emacs-Lisp buffer and consequently have the source
code of the function to be debugged available, edebug-defun is orders
of magnitude more useful for debugging a particular function.
debug-on-entry is much less convenient, but can be used without having
the source at hand.
OK. I take that as an FYI about the usefulness and appropriateness of edebug
in a source-code buffer, but not as an argument not to let `debug-on-entry'
grab the function-at-point in its interactive spec.
