Slime retrieved from CVS on or before 2004-07-19 would print a package name on the mode line of a buffer editing a Lisp file. After 2004-07-19, Slime stops printing a package name on a mode line. Is this change intentional? It's not documented in the change log. Printing a package name on a mode line is quite useful.

The package name is now printed in the modeline again. This time it gets updated by an idle timer, which is hopefully slightly better.
