[slime-devel] . in wrong context

Emacs 23 doesn't like variable named .old-prompt. in
contrib/slime-repl.el -- it borks with:
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-read-syntax ". in wrong context")
  load-internal("slime-repl" nil t nil undecided)

Renaming to %old-prompt% works. Is it dynamic binding forcing us to
have ugly variable names? Sigh.
