Hiya,
Here are three small patches for SLIME. They do the following:
- Make find-definitions a little more flexible with an around
method: if the symbol isn't in the current package, the around method goes on to look in all the packages too. (I haven't added similar logic to symbol completion but will someday).
won't this make (find-definitions foo:test) returns definitions for bar:test as well? do we really want this?
No, at least not by default. "apropos" should be used to search similar symbols.
It might be useful though, to add a hook to find-definitions so that users can include whatever definitions they think are appropriate.
