It would be nice to display the results of edebug steps inline, the same way they are displayed in CIDER.

Easy way is via advices...

(advice-add 'edebug-safe-prin1-to-string
            :before
            (lambda (value)
              (eros--eval-overlay
               value
               edebug-point)))

This works but it's probably not idiomatic.

EDIT: it doesn't work if debugger jumps into another buffer.
