Hum, maybe it's a feature introduced since the last release? When
you call the macro with `C-x e', Emacs give you the chance, after the
call, to type just `e' to repeat the macro. Fine, it isn't?
So the idea, here, is to start Emacs with the -q flag, and open
.emacs. Go at the and of the first sexp, and then, something like
this:
C-x (
C-x C-e ; eval last sexp
M-x the-thing-I-want-to-see-if-it-fail ; test
M-x the-thing-maybe-I-have-to-do-to-go-to-.emacs-buffer
C-M-f ; go to next sexp
C-x )
After that, you press once `C-x e', and then, you leave your finger
on the `e' key until the thing you want to test fails.
