Hi Mark,
While working on the autoloaders, I found a very interesting thing: SLIME doesn't know about ABCL's autoloaders.
To maximize the benefit of SLIME for ABCL (yea, I even started using it to debug ABCL itself, after you pointed out to me that these tools generally help productivity), I think it would be beneficial to teach it about autoloaders.
The case I'm talking about is this: When using M-. SLIME looks up the source code location for the source associated with the symbol. However, when you do that to a symbol which hasn't been autoloaded yet, that source code location information isn't available. SLIME could easily resolve that by evaluating the form (SYS::RESOLVE <symbol>) and look for the info after that.
Sounds good, done in CVS.
SLIME could do the same when looking up function lambda list information to present in the minibuffer for auto-completion.
Looks like it already does this.
