Except for the argument from authority, do you actually like that? It
gives away precious screen space for no reason.

(Notice that your patch addresses the slime-indentation contrib
only. That contrib is not widely used. It does not change the way Emacs
indent these (or similiar) forms by default. It also does not address
that Slime does some indentation magic based on a macro's lambda list.)
