I like Attila's idea; small is beautiful.

dear list,
have anybody ever tought of cutting up slime.el into more files? especially cutting out the framework'ey and compatibility bits into a file that can be loaded at the head of slime.el. but also other sections could be cut out, like fuzzy completion, sldb, etc.
i may not be aware of something, but i think it's not reasonable that slime.el is a single 450k file.
my actual problem is that Helmut moved some annoying compatibility definitions out of the way (to the end of the file) but i'm using some of them in the darcs repo while loading. i've moved these back to the head of the file there, but such changes are moving the branches further away.
if they were in slime-compatibility.el or a bigger slime-utils.el then it could be loaded easily at the top of slime.el.
any opinions?
