I tried to fix that once but IIRC it was a bit tricky to recognise
reader-errors and extract their file/position information from SLIME.
Probably not very hard though.

Thanks, I'm sure I will! This year's Erlang conference is nicely
organised/sponsored: the 20 euro registration fee includes dinner &
drinks worth more than 20 euros. Probably have most of Stockholm in
attendance :-)

P.S., apologies to Stockholm Lispers that I dropped the ball with
organising the pub night (frankly I suck at this type of thing).
But soon!

Cheers,
Luke
