Re: [slime-devel] Set *print-right-margin* depending on width of repl window (in slime-repl contrib)

hi,

The attached patch sets (binds) cl:*print-right-margin*, when evaluating a form from the repl via slime-repl-eval-string, to the width of the repl window.

Not a big deal, but does make describe's output much cleaner (thanks to H4ans in #lisp for the inspiration).

[...]

•       `(cl:let ((cl:*print-right-margin* ,(with-current-buffer (slime-output-buffer)
  

•                                             (window-width))))
  

•          (swank:listener-eval ,string))
  

•       `(swank:listener-eval ,string))
  

It would be better to make window-width an argument of swank:listener-eval than to send code snippets. Code snippets are a problem for non-CL backends, e.g. for Clojure.
