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).
