True. I'll write a proper introduction to `slime-mode' to cover this
sort of stuff.

I reckon it's still pulling its weight for debugging and suchlike, so
I'm happy enough keeping it m'self.

It is a bummer that it hacks its bindings into lisp-mode instead of
being a minor-mode. On the other hand, I've had some hassle with slime
being a minor-mode - clobbering keybindings of more important minor
modes (in 'emerge' buffers). Do you know any fix for that?
