The only place where I could find any kind of reference about :EXTERNAL-FORMAT was the "implementation notes" on the CLISP page.
Well, the Hyperspec page about OPEN mentions it, but the only value that you can give to it portably is :DEFAULT
http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/f_open.htm
All the other values are implementation dependant, hence the need to look at the specific implementation notes.
How is it possible to give the :external-format argument when doing C- c C-l ? Or rather, is there a way to inform SLIME that the external format is UTF-8 by default ?
In clisp, by :DEFAULT, CUSTOM:*DEFAULT-FILE-ENCODING* is used.
