Would it be worth adding a load/compile/re-xref command from within the lisp-mode buffer? I have my own hacked up elisp for personal use but could generalize it if anyone is interested.
How is that different from a re-compile with C-c C-k?
Also, I am not sure if this has been mentioned before, but how difficult would it be to add some sort of specially bound variable that has the output from the last command in the REPL? An comparable example exists in ipython.
Depends what you mean with "output". SLIME already sets the variables *, **, and *** to the last three return values; that's not SLIME specific it's CL standard (+,++, +++ and /,//,/// are similar). gdb-like $<n> variables have been discussed, but I think no actual code was written. Remembering the text that is send to the output stream would probably rather messy to implement. Some people have talked about CLIM-like presentation types where objects are presented as clickable text, but it was also considered rather difficult.
