No it is an option and of course it works. I considered both approaches. This approach had me replicating all bodies of slime-repl-emit* and insert functions. The other approach was to bind special variables and check just before where properties are added. The API comment below is from the code I get when trying to reuse slime functions in achieving these. [My current opinion is that the latter approach is cleaner, but this is moot anyway is slime-repl is in contrib and I currently only care about repl properties.
