Interrupting repl in Slime

[Alessio Stalla]

No, I mean

The only deprecated methods are suspend, resume and stop. The interrupt
machinery is what developers are supposed to use (at least when not using
some higher-level framework). It's a form of cooperative multitasking,
since a thread can completely ignore the interrupt. However, given we have
control over Lisp threads, we can play nice with that convention, and maybe
offer a without-interrupts special form for performance-critical code where
the developer assumes the responsibility of checking for interrupts in
selected moments.
