This has probably been requested before, but here goes... It is not uncommon to have a `defface' inside a condition such as (when (> emacs-major-version 23)...). Currently, `C-M-x' has no effect on such a `defface' occurrence. In order to have Emacs DTRT, I find myself working around this limitation by temporarily moving the `defface' to bol. How about letting users redefine a `defface' with `C-M-x' even in this case? At least optionally. For example, let a non-positive prefix arg do this, and have edebug instrumentation done only for a non-negative prefix arg. Or maybe always (not optionally)? Is there a good reason for doing this only at top-level? If the reason is that `eval-defun' cannot recognize the defun (`defface') unless it is at top level, then surely there is some way to make this more flexible.
