+ <longdescription>
+ macrostep is an Emacs minor mode for interactively stepping through the
+ expansion of macros in Emacs Lisp source code. It lets you see exactly what
+ happens at each step of the expansion process by pretty-printing the
+ expanded forms inline in the source buffer, which is temporarily read-only
+ while macro expansions are visible. You can expand and collapse macro forms
+ one step at a time, and evaluate or instrument the expansions for debugging
+ with Edebug as normal. Single-stepping through the expansion is
+ particularly useful for debugging macros that expand into another macro
+ form. These can be difficult to debug with Emacs’ built-in macroexpand,
+ which continues expansion until the top-level form is no longer a macro
+ call.
