That's about as far as I've come, but one thing that struck me was that M-, is not "FIND-NEXT-*".
I knew this day would come :-)
... I would like it if slime switched from using the slime-specific "SLIME-FIND-DEFINITION-HISTORY-RING" into using the normal GLOBAL-MARK-RING. That way one could use C-X C-SPC for popping back, and have M-, free for some future SLIME-EDIT-NEXT-FDEFINITION.
`pop-global-mark' isn't really the same thing though, since the global mark ring only gets pushed if you have switched buffers. I often chase through several definitions in the same file and want to step back one at a time.
Our M-, is really like M-* (pop-tag-mark) with etags. The idea of using M-, instead of M-* was that it's easier to reach after pressing `M-.'. I think M-* is a really awkward binding.
Now we've also added a command that goes to the next definition (like M-, in etags) on `C-M-.'. Perhaps it would be good to swap our bindings of `M-,' and `C-M-.'.
Any thoughts/objections to that idea?
(I think C-M-. can only be entered in a window system, and not in an 8-bit terminal. M-* could also be bound as an alternative.)
