Is there a simple way to stuff strings back into slime?

You could do: (swank::eval-in-emacs `(read-passwd "Password: ")) on the Lisp side. But the password would still be visible in the *slime-events* buffer.

For shell buffers, I have solved this problem by indentifying the shell modes filter function and (this on the meacs side) adding the advice
