That's encouraging.

Do you think the missing parts could be added?

Thanks for the new patch.

Just a couple of questions.  You mentioned that you use this with
slime presentations.  What does these annotations do for slime
presentations?  Could you describe what happens?   I'm trying to
understand exactly what new capabilities you would get with these
annotations.  And a way to test the result after I've patched cmucl
with these changes. :-)
