Also, you can say

(ext:run-program "/bin/ls" '() :output *standard-output*)

to make it show up in the Slime REPL.  It appears that by default
run-program :output just passes the stdout Unix filehandle through to
the other process, which obviously bypasses the magic Slime uses to pass
the stream over the Slime protocol.  Putting a stream in :output
redirects it to a Lisp stream.
