The issue reported in http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.slime.devel/10751 i.e. that when using CCL swank complains of a test failing upon a fresh connection maybe resolved by adding #+ccl (ccl::*print-abbreviate-quote* t) as shown:

(defun decoded-arglist-to-string (decoded-arglist

&key operator highlight

print-right-margin)

(with-output-to-string (*standard-output*)

(with-arglist-io-syntax

(let ((*print-right-margin* print-right-margin)

#+ccl (ccl::*print-abbreviate-quote* t))

(print-decoded-arglist decoded-arglist

:operator operator

:highlight highlight)))))

fyi ccl's *print-abbreviate-quote* is an extension, see also http://paste.lisp.org/display/136370
