[slime-devel] New user, and keybindings revisited

Hi, I finally decided to have a test-drive of slime, and I must say
installation went _very_ smootly with cmucl-18e. This feels almost
like opening the christmas-loot. That's about as far as I've come, but
one thing that struck me was that M-, is not "FIND-NEXT-*".

I remember the keybindings being posted several times for comments
somewhere (comp.lang.lisp I guess). At the time I was not paying
attention, so feel free to file this under "too late", but just as one
data-point I'll let you know that I would like it if slime switched
from using the slime-specific "SLIME-FIND-DEFINITION-HISTORY-RING"
into using the normal GLOBAL-MARK-RING. That way one could use 
C-X C-SPC for popping back, and have M-, free for some future
SLIME-EDIT-NEXT-FDEFINITION. I know there have been cases where I had
a previous and a current version of some system open, and being able
to jump from a call-site to both old and new easily saved a _lot_ of
time. That was using ilisp. There is also the case of g-fs that can
legitimately have several methods with the same "name".
