By default, the connection between the lisp and the slime repl is buffered. I would like to propose to have it unbuffered. on the grounds that if the user has a (format t ...), he/she probably wants the message to appear immediately on the screen :-)
Isn't the proper way to make the message appear immediately to use a (force-output) or a (format t "....~%")?

The amazing thing is, back when I was a C++ programmer, I thought that
[Design Patterns] was SUCH a great book. And I guess it was, in a
way: it made it possible to use C++ and get something done. In the
long run, of course, that may have been a disservice... - Alain Picard
