[slime-devel] new feature in CLISP-cvs

[Onay]

forwarding [Sam Steingold] from CLISP-general mailing list:

>CLISP SLIME users might want to grab CLISP cvs head and nag SLIME

>(documentation 'symbol 'sys::file)
>now returns a list of (file start-line end-line).
>file = file where the symbol was defined
>start-line and end-line are the locations in the file.

and maybe e.g. for debugging purposes?
