Yeah, I noticed.  :-(

I'll give it a bash.

On a somewhat tangential topic; I have a support contract with
Xanalys, and have a number of "incident reports" which are of
the "use 'em or lose 'em" nature.  I would be willing to spend
1 or 2 of them on issues related to getting slime better integrated
with Lispworks.

If you (or anyone else) can specify to me _exactly_ what would be
neat/required to get some missing features implemented, I could see
what I could do about getting some patches and/or code from Xanalys.

Since I don't have much time to actually code for SLIME, you can
consider this my modest contribution.  :-)

BTW--- THANK YOU to you and all other uber-cool slime developers.
In just a few months, it's turned into a very pleasant developing
environment.
