[XWEM]: Re: Debugging xwem

Evgeny replied to this, but mistakenly sent it directly to me instead
of to the list.  I tried to bounce it back to the list but it would
seem it got lost somewhere.

Evgeny pointed me to `xwem-main.el' where there is:

;; If you want develop some xwem addons or take in touch with xwem, it
;; will be usefull to change `find-function-regexp', because xwem uses
;; its own syntax to define interactive commands.

;;     (setq find-function-regexp
;;           (concat "^\\s-*(\\(def[^cgvW]\\w+\\*?"
;;                "\\|define-function"
;;                "\\|define-obsolete-function-alias"
;;                "\\|define-compatible-function-alias"
;;                "\\|define-derived-mode"
;;                "\\|define-xwem-command"
;;                "\\)\\s-+%s\\(\\s-\\|$\\)"))

Which does the trick.  This'll be going straight into
~/.xwem/xwemrc.el.

Thanks for that.

Is there something I can tweak in edebug that will allow me to step
through functions that are defined with `define-xwem-command'?
