I must admit that my development model does not match very much the
workflow in slime, and thus I have not been working on that initial
port lately. However, the only thing I expect to be missing is the
debugging facilities. The problem is that Slime expects from the lisp
a particular model of API for accessing debugger stack frames,
variable bindings, etc. I assume it is just a matter of learning what
Slime expects and filling up the appropiate holes with calls to the
functions in ECL, but it is not one of my highest priorities right
now.
