One caveat: completion is really slow on Emacs20. From `elp' it looks
like a CPU-busy loop while `slime-eval' blocks, but I'm not
certain. It seems to work fine on Emacs 21 and XEmacs.

It's past my bedtime so I can't debug it further now - sorry Helmut :-)

(Very nice looking CVS commits over the past few minutes!)

Cheers,
