Hello,
I'm trying to define a few macro characters for use in the slime top-level, but I can't figure out where to put the SET-DISPATCH-MACRO-CHARACTER calls so that they affect the swank readtable instead of the default one. I've tried putting them both in my lisp initialization file and in .swank.lisp, but in both cases the macro character is defined in the initial readtable and not in the slime one (so it works in the *inferior-lisp* buffer, but not in the slime-repl buffer). Thanks!
The initial readtable should be the same readtable as the REPL readtable (if you haven't set *READTABLE* to something else and haven't touched swank:*readtable-alist*.) It's also the behaviour I'm seeing with SBCL.
Does this issue still persist?
