Just pasted the above defun in scratch buffer, in emacs with -Q option, then
C-x C-e, and run with M-x. Nothing special.
I have observed later, that it correctly exits from the execution of defun, if I
add more code after the 'when' form. It just does not end up in the debug buffer.
I am ok with the new behavior, I think it is probably more handy, was just
surprised, haven't noticed it before.
The Emacs used was built today from the lastest master, maybe a couple of hors
before I posted this message.
