[slime-devel] Feature suggestion

Hi

I would like to suggest a feature for SLIME taken from Lispworks.

In LW I can type

prompt> first '(1 2 3)
3

prompt> member 42 '((3 2 3) (1 42 33) (42 11 22)) :key #'second
((1 42 33) (42 11 22))

I.e. a line gets parenthesized if it is not already an expression (of 
course there are cases where things get hairy, but in general I find it 
useful).

This may even make it more appealing to people who dislike enclosing 
parentheses.

Cheers
