[slime-devel] some minor problems...

[Timofei Shatrov]

I'm using SLIME 2.0 so these may already be fixed, but maybe not.
The Lisp is CLISP 2.41.

1. The syntax for complex numbers (like that: #C(1 1)) seems to mess
with the feature that displays function arguments in minibuffer. It
thinks that #C and (1 1) are actually two different arguments, which
is annoying.

2. I wrote a function:

(defun fast-orient (start end point)
  (declare (optimize (speed 3) (safety 0)))
  (declare (number start end point))
  (> (anti-product (- point start) (- end start)) 0))

When I C-c C-c it, SLIME displays the following error:

"FORMAT: The control-string must be a string, not WARN"

   [Condition of type SIMPLE-TYPE-ERROR]

Restarts:
  0: [ABORT] Abort SLIME compilation.
  1: [ABORT-REQUEST] Abort handling SLIME request.

  0: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SWANK-BACKEND::SIGNAL-COMPILER-WARNING>
  1: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SWANK-BACKEND::C-WARN>
  2: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::PARSE-OPTIMIZE-QUALITY>
  3: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::PROCESS-DECLARATIONS>
  4: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-LAMBDABODY>
  5: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-FUNCTION>
  6: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-FORM>
  7: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-DIRECT-FUNCTION-CALL>
  8: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-GLOBAL-FUNCTION-CALL>
  9: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-FORM>
 10: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-PROGN>
 11: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-FORM>
 12: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-LET/LET*>
 13: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION #:|2104 2258 (DEFCONSTANT C-FORM-TABLE (LET # # ...))-169-1|>
 14: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-FORM>
 15: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-FORM>
 16: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-PROGN>
 17: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-FORM>
 18: #<COMPILED-FUNCTION SYSTEM::C-LAMBDABODY>

and so on...

3. The indentation of loop macro is strange and annoying. I can never
figure out the principle behind it. Maybe some Python-style
indentation mechanism could be used?
