Re: [slime-devel] presentations

FYI, I have a few features that I've been thinking of adding.

2. Updateable presentations. I have some cases where I want to leave

a marker for something that will take some time to compute and later update the presentation with the computed result.

I think it would be great if one could get REPL-like behavior in arbitrary buffers, for instance the *slime-scratch* buffer. So I could start (computation-1) and (computation-2) in different places of the same buffer, watching their output and waiting for their results. There could be a placeholder (your updateable presentation) that shows that the computation is still running; output would be inserted in front of the placeholder.

3. Separate stream/process to handle presentation events so that they

can be active even when the repl is busy.

I think this works already.
