[slime-devel] security and presentations

[Alan Ruttenberg]

I'd like to reinstate the ability have the lisp side be able to 
evaluate arbitrary forms from presentation menus. If there is a 
security issue for some I think it would be better handled by having a 
switch to disable evaluation of these forms, with the default being 
that they are evaluated.

And to be honest, I can't see how disabling presentation menus from 
evaluating forms in emacs enhances security when one is already sitting 
in a repl talking to the lisp.

Also, the recent move of the inspect, describe, and copy to input 
functions to the emacs side removes the ability to specialize the 
method on the lisp side to not offer those choices. If there is good 
reason to move them over, which I'm not convinced of, then it would be 
better to still return a value, say a keyword, to represent these 
actions so that they can be overidden.
