Hi
I would like to suggest a feature for SLIME taken from Lispworks.
In LW I can type
prompt> member 42 '((3 2 3) (1 42 33) (42 11 22)) :key #'second ((1 42 33) (42 11 22))
I.e. a line gets parenthesized if it is not already an expression (of course there are cases where things get hairy, but in general I find it useful).
CL-USER> (defvar a 4)
A CL-USER> (defvar b 9)
B CL-USER> a b
4 CL-USER> 9 CL-USER> (defun a (x) (sqrt x))
A CL-USER> (a b)
3.0
So what happens in lispworks if I do this:
CL-USER> a b
Do I get a separate 4 and 9 again or do I get 3.0?
