None the less I guess it hints at a fragility in the moving of floats between CL and emacs, though I know too little about the slime internals to say if this is in the generic parts (in which case it probably ought to be handled) or just in the particulars of the fuzzy completion contrib.
Yep. Sending floats across the wire is problematic and should be avoided. It would be better to send it as string. We could probably enforce that but I doubt that it's worth doing so. We could also forbid bignums and symbols with bars etc. There are many small differences between Emacs's and CL's syntax, but it's just too convenient not to exploit the similarities.
