If you're OK with "P", I am too.  Changing that if somebody else
objects wouldn't be difficult.

Other than that here is what I would consider a feature-complete
patch:

- It is mostly based on what I have previously sent as v2 in message
  #17.
- Plus it adds documentation in edebug.texi (merged already with
  your recent index changes), ERTs (also for `edebug-bounce-point'),
  and a news entry.
- In the Edebug ERTs I noticed and cleaned up a side-effect in the
  otherwise unrelated test
  `edebug-tests-evaluation-of-current-buffer-bug-19611'.

I haven't yet described the actual use case of that new command, as
I did in the initial message of this bug report.  Do you think this
should be mentioned somewhere?  Without that, the function might
sound a bit arcane ...

Thanks!
