Re: [slime-devel] emacs complains about 'package' variable

I just fixed this interesting bug. The code in question looks like this:

(defun slime-eval-with-transcript (form package &optional fn) (with-current-buffer (slime-output-buffer) (slime-eval-async form package ...

PACKAGE is unbound inside the with-current-buffer form, because package is a buffer local variable and the local binding is not in effect in the other buffer. Isn't this funny? I wonder how many people write code like the above and what would happen with a file specification like:

;;; -*- mode: LISP; string: FOO; buffer: FOO; list FOO ....
