;;; Commentary:
;;
;; Provide a simple way to investigate particularly large and complex
;; data structures.
;;
;; The best way to get started is to bind M-: to 'data-debug-eval-expression.
;;
;; (global-set-key "\M-:" 'data-debug-eval-expression)
;;
;; If you write functions with complex output that need debugging, you
;; can make them interactive with data-debug-show-stuff.  For example:
;;
;; (defun my-complex-output-fcn ()
;;   "Calculate something complicated at point, and return it."
;;   (interactive) ;; function not normally interactive
;;   (let ((stuff (do-stuff)))
;;     (when (interactive-p)
;;       (data-debug-show-stuff stuff "myStuff"))
;;     stuff))
