This doesn't seem to work:

  (dspec:at-location (:emacs-buffer) (defun foo ()))
  (dspec:name-definition-locations '(function) 'foo)

Returns nothing particularly useful.

In newest version, I tried to patch the recorded source info, basically
by groveling through the hashtable returned by 

   (dspec::dc-database (dspec::find-dc 'function))

This seems to work a bit better.  Some problems are:

 - you get multiple entries in the table if the function is compiled
   multiple times.

 - only the function database is patched, defclass and others are left
   alone.

 - the Lispworks editor may get confused by the emacs buffer entries.

Let's see how it works.

Helmut.
