Re: [slime-devel] backward-sexp and slime-pprint-eval-last-expression

I've been using slime-pprint-eval-last-expression on some expressions in .files in slime and came across the following:

#(0)

works fine, but

#2A((0))

doesn't, as slime relies on emacs' backward-sexp to compute the sexp to eval. Would it be desirable to extend this to be reader-macro aware?

backward-sexp is under the jurisdiction of lisp-mode and not of slime-mode. So if you think that backward-sexp should handle this case differently, then you should file a bug report to the Emacs developers.

I personally have no desire to add special support for reader macros. IMO, reader macros aren't worth the trouble.
