Re: [slime-devel] Improved trace

Obviously, not everything can work in every CL. Also, the specific trace commands depend on the CL we are using. This, I think, should not stop us from using it (and strongly encourage CL implementors to provide the missing bits).

unfortunetly it's not so simple, getting the "vendors" to implement it is hard enough (time being the scarce reource that it is), getting users to upgrade is even more difficult. i think it's important that this degrade gracefully on lisps where the support doesn't exist (i'll provide such support for openmcl). if nothing else the default implementations should trace the outer function (sans setf) as trace currently does.
