slime-parent-map (and slime-prefix-map) are intended for bindings which
are useful in almost every buffer.  I added those which I think are
useful without doing any harm.  E.g. I don't know who useful it would be
to do macro-expansion in the SLDB buffer.  Feel free to add some more.

slime-describe-function should really be in the C-c C-d prefix map.
slime-undefine-function seems to be a rather unusual operation.
slime-complete-symbol is only useful in a buffer that is supposed to be
edited.  It's better not to bind it in all places (especially since it
is bound to so many keys).

Did that ever work?

Same situation as for slime-complete-symbol.

Helmut.
