The output from C-c C-d d is provided by the implementation's DESCRIBE,
not Slime.

...so talk to your vendor. (Of course, Slime could implement
DESCRIBE-FOR-EMACS like it does INSPECT-FOR-EMACS, but that is a
different topic.)

http://random-state.net/tmp/describe-symbol.lisp

is a tentative patch to DESCRIBE for SBCL, making C-c C-d d nicer in
Slime.
