(I should say that at present I don't use slime in sbcl development, but I'd like to: if this gets us closer to the ability for me to type C-c C-c in an sbcl source file and have it at least attempt to work, count me in :-)
I had a brief play this afternoon: loading src/cold/chill.lisp from an sbcl tree, and defining translations for "SYS", is sufficient for interactive development with sbcl. Without chill.lisp, indeed, there are reader errors and package errors aplenty: some thought probably needs to be spent if we want this to work 'out of the box', without the user needing to load chill.lisp.
Cheers,
