As Stas had anticipated, this happens when there's no s-exp starting
where the cursor (or point in Emacs-speak) is and slime-sexp-at-point
returns NIL, but swank-expand-1 is expecting a string. You must place
the cursor on the opening parenthesis.
Perhaps slime-expand-1 could be more DWIM-ish and try harder to find a
s-exp to macro expand, but certainly signalling a CL TYPE-ERROR is
unfortunate. As Stas mentioned, this error has been in SLIME for a
very long time. I have a fix to avoid the error that I'll push
shortly.
