[slime-devel] edit-definition of *something*

Is it just me, or is it broken to edit definition on a symbol which has 
"*" at the end?

It appears that the culprit is \> in the function-name regular 
expression in slime-goto-location-position. This is supposed to match a 
word break but according to M-x describe-syntax "*" is "symbol" as 
opposed to "word".

I fixed it in my version by changing \\> to \\(\\>\\|\\s \\) but didn't 
want to put this into cvs before someone else commented. Should the 
syntax table be changed instead, or am I barking up the wrong tree?
