bug#1417: 23.0.60; defmacro declare syntax trips up on offsets

Agreed.  As a "rider clause" to this bug: the debug specification does not seem to show up in the Elisp Info manual at all.

Thanks Stefan.

So the real bug is that this error is not caught in
`macro-declaration-function', and that error messages in Edebug's
parsing code are user-unfriendly.
