[slime-devel] Strings inspection

Hi!

Is there a better way of inspecting large strings than what is currently
available?

It happens to me a lot that when an error happens, the condition raised
has a meaningful string for me as one of its parameters or as a
description. Unfortunately it is too large, so slime (or the lisp
backend) doesn't display it all. So I decide to inspect it, but the
simple character array inspector shows me the list of characters instead
of the string in a readable form.

Is there a way of getting away with this?

Cheers, Mariano
