| What to you mean supported?  It seems to be supported.

I was remembering this thread
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.slime.devel/6507/

(I believe the REPL code was added without considering this variable
and mode of behaviour and so was incompatible, and now slime has to
discourage the use of the mode in effect deprecating it. Had it been
supported, the alternative design would have been a framework for the
repl machinery in which both modes of operation coexisted without
problems to either)

Not at hand, but I could reconstruct them if needed
