[slime-devel] * load-pathname*, *load-truename*

[Alan Ruttenberg]

One might argue that evaluating or loading a compiled expression inside 
an emacs buffer visiting a file should be as close as possible to what 
happens when the file is loading.

To this end what do you think about wrapping forms evaluated with 
slime-eval-defun and friends with

(let* ((*load-pathname* <emacs (buffer-file-name)>)
           (*load-truename* (and (probe-file *load-pathname*) (truename 
*load-pathname*)000
      <expression>
  )

or something like it.

For example, evaluating an asdf defsystem form depends on this...
