OK, I'm with you, now. The non-nil, non-t value in the internal variable
debug-from--e-e won't be seen by any Lisp code. It can be seen by Lisp
code in eval-expression-debug-on-error.
This is an extension of e-e-debug-on-error to match what debug-on-error
does. I wouldn't think that d-o-e gets set to a list of conditions very
often, but when it does, it's likely very useful. It seemed logical to
extend the same facility to e-e-debug-on-error. Do you think this is a
bad idea? [Clearly, some entries in NEWS will be needed, as well as
amendments to the Elisp manual.]
