* Nikodemus Siivola 4631FB2D.8030208@random-state.net : | The attached patch associates *slime-scratch* with a file | if you name one as "slime-scratch-file". I've been running | slime with this a while, and rather like it. | | Something like this was talked about a while ago, and dropped | because of what looked like an ideologinal objection to | scratch-buffers in my mind. | | Is the consensus still against this?
Personally half the time i don't want a peristent scratch buffer, and half the time, I do, in which case I would bind slime-scratch to: (find-file "/tmp/*slime-scratch*") (slime-switch-to-scratch-buffer)
The only cost of this patch seems to be an extra variable, which I don't mind. On a related note, I've often wondered how, after a file has been associated with the buffer, would one "detach a file from the buffer", without destroying the buffer? -- Madhu
