[slime-devel] slime debugger string length cutoff, bad default and how to control it

[Mark H. David]

Makes no sense to hard code this.  You cannot predict terminal width -- I've got
256+ characters showing quite legibly on my screen -- nor width of the buffer
being used currently in emacs.  Nor can you predict the variable name.

It is prettier when each local variable fits on a single line.  If we
assume 80 chars per line and subtract some space for the variable name
then no more than 75 are visible.  For the full information you can use
the inspector or the d command.
