Hello, The attached patch makes slime-echo-arglist detect (make-instance 'quoted-symbol ...) forms and uses the quoted symbol to find the class and present the initargs and initforms in the mini-buffer. For example: CL-USER> (defclass foo () ((a :initarg :initarg-a :initform nil) (b :initarg :initarg-b) c)) #<STANDARD-CLASS FOO> CL-USER> (make-instance<space> ;; minibuffer displays: (make-instance class &rest initargs) CL-USER> (make-instance 'foo<space> ;; minibuffer displays: (make-instance 'foo &key (initarg-a nil) initarg-b) The code is a bit ugly, specially on the elisp side. My elisp-fu being very weak doesn't help. Suggestions on how to improve that are most welcome! BTW, the ChangeLog's encoding seems to be latin-1, wouldn't utf-8 be better? -- Luís Oliveira luismbo (@) gmail (.) com Equipa Portuguesa do Translation Project http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/translation/registry.cgi?team=pt
