Ahoy,
Personally I'm finding the source-file cache really helpful when doing M-. with modified buffers, but it only works for some types of location.
The `code-location' we get from function objects contains the mtime of the source file at the time of compilation, which we can check against the file and the cache. But `source-locations' that we get for classes from PCL and `xref-contexts' don't have this timestamp.
What to do? I'm tempted to try hacking CMUCL to include mtime in the other locations too, but I'm not 100% certain that the caching approach is right. Any opinions?
