Heh, sorry, I should have been clearer about that.

Anyways, if Slime was to present a wishlist debugger interface (not 
"export everything we use", but "here's a list of abstract functionalities 
we need"), I might have a look at providing actually supported ways of
doing doing what you're doing in SBCL.

An idle thought: how stable is the SWANK protocol? If it was documented 
then implementations could potentially support it directly: sb-swank as a 
contrib kind of thing.

Cheers,
