Passing the "method descriptions" as a strings between Emacs and Lisp is a bit problematic (read-case, package ...). If I where to build a GF browser I'd keep the list of methods as first class values on the Lisp side. The index in the list could then be used to refer to a particular method.
Well, that would make many things easier/more portable. And it would make it work with eql-specializers on acl62. Ok, I'll give it a try. What do you think of the current style of making it a xref add-on? Would you prefer a stand-alone gf browser buffer? (or do you have no opinion on this issue?) -Thomas p.s.: cc'ing to slime-devel@common-lisp.net doesn't seem to work. at least I couldn't see any newer messages in the archive and the never appear on gmane.lisp.slime.devel
