[slime-devel] SLIME eval-xxx inconsistencies

[Lynn Quam]

I noticed that the different eval-xxx commands when executed in a
Lisp-mode buffer have different behavior wrt. the treatment of
*PACKAGE*.  In particular: SLIME-PPRINT-EVAL-LAST-EXPRESSION and
SLIME-EVAL-REGION bind *PACKAGE* to SWANK:*BUFFER-PACKAGE*.  The other
eval-xxx commands do not bind *PACKAGE* and you (apparently) get the
value of *PACKAGE* that is bound in slime-repl.

It is not clear to me that this difference in behavior is desirable.
