While we're on the subject of small patches, I have two files in my slime directory giving me an "M" whenever I update from cvs. Both were reported to the list, and both were ignored (or just forgotten perhaps), so I'll try again:
The first is for slime.el (function slime-init-keymaps), and is needed for the development version of emacs. The problem seems to be that keys with modifiers can produce bigger numbers that will fit into the slots of a string, so one needs to use a vector instead. Replacing string with vector seems harmless on earlier emacsen (but I haven't tested it on xemacs).
The second is for swank.lisp (function set-package), and fixes the name returned to obey the case conventions of the user.
(Not blaming anybody for ignoring these: I suspect they just fell through the cracks of a busy schedule.)
