You can also debug primitive functions (i.e., those ! written in C) that are not special forms this way, but the primitive ! will only break on entry when it is called from Lisp. That's not very clear about how special forms are treated. This is clearer: You can also set debug-on-entry for primitive functions (i.e., those written in C) this way, but it only takes effect when the primitive is called from Lisp code. Debug-on-entry is not allowed for special forms. With that change, please install it.
