[slime-devel] (string= "(function . (cons))" "(function cons)") ==> nil

[Michael Livshin]

the latest Slime (both HEAD & FAIRLY-STABLE) does not load for me due
to failed asserts that check the equality cited in the subject.

apparently #'pprint-logical-block in CMUCL 18e does not work the way
swank.lisp thinks it works.  or something.

I've worked around this by making #'test-print-arglist be:

(defun test-print-arglist (list string)
  (equal (read-from-string (print-arglist-to-string list))
         (read-from-string string)))

perhaps it will break something; so far it does not.

cheers,

Well, I wish you'd just tell me rather than trying to engage my enthusiasm,
because I haven't got one.
