[slime-devel] Re: slime-filename-translations xemacs-compatability

Thanks for pointing that out, I guess I hadn't fully considered everything
that comes out it being a regexp. It is kind of interesting that
assoc-default makes a point of comparing in the appropriate order.

Nevertheless, it is now retooled to use find-if and do the string-matching
correctly. See any problems now? I have not used elisp much so I'm a bit
nervous about the dynamic scoping. As far as I understand it, this should
work fine.

Tested by calling the function with a variety of arguments, and by
connecting with both gnu and xemacs locally and to a remote box. However,
all of my machine-instance strings are pretty dull (letters only).

As before, there is one patch for just the slime-filename-translations stuff
and one patch that also includes everything from "swank-source-files
defaults" from 4/2/2006.

Using string-match as the test with assoc* causes some surprising
failures. Unlike, say, equal, string-match is asymmetric: the first
argument is a regular expression, the second a string. When trying to
compare (slime-machine-instance) against itself using string-match,
the comparison fails, for (slime-machine-instance) contains regexp
meta-characters:
