[slime-devel] slime-repl-matching-input-regexp

[Ivan Shvedunov]

  Hi.
  I've sent a patch some time ago that made it possible to use paredit
in REPL window
without breaking history. It changed the behavior of
slime-repl-matching-input-regexp
so that the text between the start of current REPL input and the caret
is used for history
search. The patch was applied on 2006-09-01 by Nikodemus Siivola but
later reverted
due to some problems that it caused (there was a vague reference to
complaints on #lisp).
Well, now I had to repatch my copy of slime.el... No big problem with
that, but I just wonder
what were these negative consequences ? Maybe slime-repl-matching-input-regexp
behavior should be made customizable?..
