That's a good idea, I tripped over this many times. Done in CVS.

There're two new variables now
(defvar *find-definitions-right-trim* ",:.")
(defvar *find-definitions-left-trim* "#:").

When a symbol is not found, it tries to trim it using
string-right-trim and string-left-trim. The left trim is useful for
#:foo symbols in package definitions.
