• Use sane default values for slime-repl-set-package.
• Previously, when typing `,!p' at the REPL, the current package
• would have been inserted as a default (although the whole intent
• was to /change/ the current package in the first place), now
• nothing is inserted anymore.

Hmm, I don't recall writing this explanation which is a good one except the last bit is not true. The patch reverts to the original behaviour of calling slime-find-buffer-package.

I always use this command through the REPL buffer; indeed nothing is inserted in that case but that's not what happens if this command is invoked in another buffer. That might be a good thing for slime-repl-set-package since the repl's package doesn't necessarily match the buffer's. For slime-set-package, I don't know; I don't actually understand what it's used for.

• • slime.el (slime-pretty-current-package): rename it to
• slime-pretty-find-buffer-package and make it use
• slime-find-buffer-package instead of slime-current-package.
• (slime-repl-set-package, slime-set-package): use new function.
