Subject: Enhancement in master: Add debug declaration to widget-specify-insert

Hello,
It would improve the development of user-defined `editable-list`-like widget types very much if you could add a debug declaration to `widget-specify-insert`.

Usage-Example: Recently I added a modified set of buttons to the user-defined widget `elgrep-menu-call-list' in `https://github.com/TobiasZawada/elgrep/blob/master/elgrep.el'. In that use-case function `widget-editable-list-entry-create` needs to be imitated. The macro `widget-specify-insert` is used there. It is inconvenient if edebug jumps over the body when debugging such a function. I had to define my own version of `widget-specify-insert` with added debug declaration for avoiding that effect.

Thanks in advance for considering the enhancement.

The diff https://github.com/TobiasZawada/emacs/commit/f8eeec3ccd9bcbc4895ab88c3ef2d9c7759b70bf shows a possible change in `lisp/wid-edit.el`:
