[slime-devel] Typeout frame, autodoc-mode and notes

[Geoff Wozniak]

When using the typeout frame with slime-autodoc-mode enabled, reading  
notes using slime-next-note and slime-previous-note is difficult.   
This is due to the fact that slime-autodoc-pre-command-refresh-echo- 
area is on pre-command-hook and wipes the echo area clean right after  
the note is displayed.

I've attached a patch to remedy this for the time being, but it feels  
very unclean.  All I did was adjust the conditions in slime-autodoc- 
message-ok-p such that it returns nil when last-command is eq to  
either slime-next-note or slime-previous-note.  This at least lets  
you read the note before you start to adjust the code (once you do  
anything else, the echo area is wiped clean).

This behaviour is suitable to me for the time being, which is why I'm  
submitting a patch.  I'm not sure if something else should done about  
this, such as making notes appear for a fixed period of time in a  
typeout frame or something like that.
