53 "What to do with the debugger buffer when exiting `debug'.
54 The value affects the behavior of operations on any window
55 previously showing the debugger buffer.
57 nil means that if its window is not deleted when exiting the
58 debugger, invoking `switch-to-prev-buffer' will usually show
59 the debugger buffer again.
61 `append' means that if the window is not deleted, the debugger
62 buffer moves to the end of the window's previous buffers so
63 it's less likely that a future invocation of
64 `switch-to-prev-buffer' will switch to it. Also, it moves the
65 buffer to the end of the frame's buffer list.
67 `bury' means that if the window is not deleted, its buffer is
68 removed from the window's list of previous buffers. Also, it
69 moves the buffer to the end of the frame's buffer list. This
70 value provides the most reliable remedy to not have
71 `switch-to-prev-buffer' switch to the debugger buffer again
72 without killing the buffer.
74 `kill' means to kill the debugger buffer.
