It's already there!

I added arglist display for local functions and local macros to the
`slime-autodoc' contrib back in September. Please make sure you're
running a recent version of Slime, and use the slime-autodoc contrib.

Slime's completion works by looking at the interned symbols in the Lisp
image. At the time you write the FLET form the first time without having
it yet evaluated, C-c C-i won't work. However, dabbrev-expand (M-/)
should work.

C-c C-s for local functions / macros does not work at the moment.

HTH,
