Re: [slime-devel] Saving *slime-scratch*

I could be missing something obvious but what is the advantage of the proposed patch as opposed to just use standard commands such as `write-file' or `append-to-file' to save contents of the scratch buffer?

Saving/loading/appending isn't automatic. You need to bother with it. Having a persistent buffer is like having a piece of paper next to your computer: throwing it away is easy, but it isn't going to just disappear on it's own.

Additionally, write-file renames the buffer, so next slime-scratch takes you to another buffer, unless you rename the buffer manually after saving it.
