It'd be interesting to try and implement helm-backed alternatives for SLIME's apropos and xref facilities.
Yes, my thoughts too after watching the screencast. However, we might be better served if those alternatives do not tie themselves to helm explicitly. There are many completion/fuzzy-finding/etc frameworks there and even Emacs proper is thinking of adopting one. See this (gigantic) thread:

I for one would be quite happy with ido, icomplete or even bare completing-read for these (these are all built into emacs already).
