Re: [slime-devel] swank:eval-string in wrong package?

According to the doc string for SWANK:EVAL-STRING, the string is supposed to be read and evaluated in the buffer's package. But because SWANK:READ-FORM binds *PACKAGE* to *SWANK-IO-PACKAGE* this doesn't seem to happen. Am I missing something?

You are right. The docstring isn't quite correct. We could probably remove one level of printing/reading by passing a form instead of the string. We could then rename the function to EVAL-FOR-EMACS. Helmut.
