Subject: 28.0.50; Incorrect Edebug instrumentation for old `when-let' form
Date: Tue, 18 May 2021 00:08:30 +0200

Insert the following form into *scratch*:

(defun f (a) (when-let (b (not a)) b))

Edebug-evaluate it using C-u M-C-x.

Now evaluate (f 1).  Edebug will not stop at the (not a) form, only the
`a' symbol.  The instrumented form is indeed incorrect:
(symbol-function 'f) gives

(closure
 (t)
 (a)
 (edebug-enter 'f
	       (list a)
	       #'(lambda nil
		   (edebug-after
		    (edebug-before 0)
		    3
		    (let*
			((b
			  (and t
			       (not
				(edebug-after 0 1 a)))))
		      (if b
			  (edebug-after 0 2 b)
			nil))))))

Note the missing edebug-before/after around the `not' form.

This can be rectified by swapping the two `&or' branches in the Edebug
specification for `if-let', which makes sense given the first branch is
often a superset of the second.  I don't mind doing that, but maybe
there are negative conseqences from that that I don't see?
