[slime-devel] non-interactive interaction with repl

[Joe Corneli]

Thank you for the help.  Can perhaps you explain why there is
a `list' here?

(slime-eval (list 'swank:eval-and-grab-output (format "%s" '*package*)))

as opposed to

(slime-eval (swank:eval-and-grab-output (format "%s" '*package*)))

Perhaps that would help me understand what I find to be an even more
perplexing question (from a separate thread)!
