we could do this with the (force-)?(load|compile)-system commands,
just like we do with the defpapameter and resend commands, but i don't
know what we'de put in the buffer in the case of change-directory, and
i don't know what the point of putting (in-package :???) would be in
the repl.

see the definition of slime-repl-resend and slime-repl-defparameter,
however if you tell me what commands you want i can do it pretty
quickly.
