I committed a quick fix (maybe it's not good).
`slime-make-form-spec-from-string' stalls when it sees "(char #\\)"
because  `slime-incomplete-form-at-point' adds a ), and it becomes
escaped, I added a space before ). And by the way, there are two
definitions of `slime-make-form-spec-from-string' in the file, which
one is right? (the first definition works in that case)
