I added a button to that page to group the symbols with respect to their
respective classification, e.g. on #<PACKAGE "SWANK">:

	* swank.lisp: Instead of just having all the symbols of a package
	listed alphabetically in the inspector page recently introduced
	for that purpose, add a button to that page to group them by their
	classification.

	(%package-symbols-container): New slot GROUPING-KIND.
	(%make-package-symbols-container): New function, wraps around
	%%MAKE-PACKAGE-SYMBOLS-CONTAINER, which will actually create the
	structure. We need this, to make GROUPING-DEFAULT an entirely
	internal affair.

	(make-symbols-listing): New generic function to dispatch on
	GROUPING-KIND.
	(make-symbols-listing :symbol): Just the stuff that was priorly
	wired into INSPECT-FOR-EMACS (%PACKAGE-SYMBOLS-CONTAINER).
	(make-symbols-listing :classification): New; returns the passed
	symbols grouped by their classification.
	(inspect-for-emacs %package-symbols-container): Most code split
	off into MAKE-SYMBOLS-LISTING.
