[slime-cvs] CVS update: slime/doc/slime.texi

[Brian Downing]

Update of /project/slime/cvsroot/slime/doc
In directory common-lisp.net:/tmp/cvs-serv29908/doc

Modified Files:
	slime.texi 
Log Message:
* slime.el: Re-added most of Luke's patches from yesterday.  It
has the shortened names, uses markers instead of stored `(point)'
values, and `slime-fuzzy-complete-symbol' is an option for
`slime-complete-symbol-function'.
It still string compares the target buffer instead of using
`(buffer-modified-tick)'.
I left the `C-c M-i' keybinding in, as it allows use of the
regular completion as well.  If there's an objection to this it
can be removed.
`window-configuration-change-hook' is used if the variable is
present, and ignored it not.  This neatly sidesteps its absence in
XEmacs while not killing the functionality for GNU Emacs.

* doc/slime.texi: Added a command entry and short description for
`C-c M-I, slime-fuzzy-complete-symbol', and added its existence to
the `slime-complete-symbol-function' documentation.
