Hello SLIME developers, Fancy-inspector module provides a feature that I tried to use today: for a stream object, it proposes to visit a file and go to current stream position. Unfortunately, it doesn't work in current SLIME. In swank-fancy-inspector.lisp, make-pathname-ispec passes a :charpos keyword, while in slime.el, slime-ed expects :position. I assume there's a real problem, not just an argument name incompatibility: for common CL implementations, CL:FILE-POSITION is measured in bytes, and slime-ed (that ends up in goto-char) expects character. Assuming unibyte encoding and passing :position argument from fancy inspector makes this feature useful most of the time, though. I'm unsure where the real problem (octets-vs-characters) should be fixed; a problem with argument names looks like a separate one, because what's passed in :charpos is a byte offset. -- Regards, Anton Kovalenko <http://github.com/akovalenko/sbcl-win32-threads/wiki> +7(916)345-34-02 | Elektrostal' MO, Russia
