[slime-devel] slime repl commands

[Marco Baringer]

i just applied a patch which adds "repl commands" to slime.

the syntax is #\, command-name &rest args. I used the comma instead of 
#\: since, afaict, #\, will never appear at the start of a valid lisp 
form (unless you're messing with the read table in which case you can 
just deal with it).

the following commands have been implemented:

cd namestring - change *default-pathname-defaults*

pwd - return the namestring of *default-pathname-defaults*

sayoonara - quits the lisp and kills all slime related buffers (this 
has a weild bug whereby the next connection attempt after a sayoonara 
will fail).

cload file &optional force - loads file. if the source is newer than 
the compiled, or the compilied doesn't exist, or force is T then the 
file is compilied before being loaded.

pack &optional new-package - sets or returns the current package. the 
utility of this is debatable.

+ - resend the top of slime-repl-input-history, don't change 
slime-repl-input-history.

I have tried to make defining commands easy, see the bottom of 
swank.lisp for the defs of the current commands. I may very well have 
broken the repl, comments welcome. These should probably be 
re-organived into an explicit elisp side stuff and lisp side stuff. 
we'll see if future commands need it enough to do that.
