Re: [slime-devel] send-repl-results-to-emacs and slime-repl-insert-result.

In recent (or maybe not so recent) changes to swank.lisp, send-repl-results-to-emacs sends a :write-string back to the slime dispatcher instead of :return or :emacs-rex or whatever it was previously.

The reasons for the change (which I did) were twofold:

1) When long REPL results are sent back, the old code first transferred them to Emacs with one big message, then printed them. Thus for a long time, you would not get any indication of what is happening.

The new code does the usual stream buffering, sending many moderate-size messages to Emacs. So you can see the progress.

2) To support nested presentations in REPL results, when present.lisp is loaded.
