[slime-devel] [PATCH] improved display of symbols of a package in the Inspector

[Tobias C. Rittweiler]

To make oneself familiar with someone else's code, it's often desirable
to see what symbols are defined in a package. I've added a special
inspector page for that purpose that will pop up if you inspect the
package, and then click on the links to the external/internal symbols.
The flags are the same as those that are presented in Fuzzy Completion.

Here's an snippet from all present symbols of #<PACKAGE "SWANK">: 

  All present symbols of package "SWANK"
   [type: %PACKAGE-SYMBOLS-CONTAINER]
  --------------------
  A symbol is considered present in a package if it's
  "accessible in that package directly, rather than
  being inherited from another package."
  (CLHS glossary entry for `present')
  
  Symbols:                                            Flags:
  --------------------------------------------------- -------
  %CONTAINER                                          -------
  %MAKE-FUZZY-MATCHING                                -f-----
  %PACKAGE-SYMBOLS-CONTAINER                          ---c---
  %PACKAGE-SYMBOLS-CONTAINER-                         -------
  %PACKAGE-SYMBOLS-CONTAINER-DESCRIPTION              -f-----
  %PACKAGE-SYMBOLS-CONTAINER-P                        -f-----
  %PACKAGE-SYMBOLS-CONTAINER-SYMBOLS                  -f-----
  %PACKAGE-SYMBOLS-CONTAINER-TITLE                    -f-----
  &UNKNOWN-JUNK                                       -------
  *ACTIVE-THREADS*                                    b------
  *AFTER-INIT-HOOK*                                   b------
  ...

Hope you'll find this useful,

   -T.
