No: you need to edebug-instrument the code where you want to single-step
(i.e. the places in the code where you want the cursor to stop when you
single step), so you want to use C-u C-M-x on that `foo` definition.

Of course, you can also use C-x C-M-x on the code that invokes `foo` but
it will only single-step within that code, not within the definition of `foo`.
