Now that slime-repl is in contrib, is it true that (setup-slime '(slime-repl)) is necessary to use a remote Lisp process? I see that starting up a lisp, having it load the right stuff and run swank:create-server, and then using M-x slime-connect works if slime-repl is loaded, but I don't see any repl if it is not.
Or is there another recommended way now to use a remote lisp that does not depend on any contrib modules?
