I'm trying to write a few short elisp functions to transform some text. I'd like to test out small pieces of each function as I write them to help me understand how each bit works, and ensure it functions as expected. To do this, I type M-x, then the name of the function. This works for some functions (e.g. evil-forward-WORD-begin) but not others (e.g. following-char).
I've worked around the issue by using C-x C-e to execute the s-expressions from my buffer, but why can't following-char can't be executed via execute-extended-command?
