Date: Fri, 15 Jul 2016 09:01:24 -0700

cl-defmethod forms with an :extra qualifier can't be instrumented for
edebugging, presumably because the extra string tag isn't accounted for,
and it tries to parse the arglist as the lambda. The error message is:

edebug-syntax-error: Invalid read syntax: "Expected lambda expression"

In addition, the string tag is highlighted as a docstring.

I've just sent a patch for bug#24753 which includes a change to make
Edebug work on methods which use :extra. The string tag is still
highlighted incorrectly.
