Certainly this is possible, but why not compile/load the module that you're browsing instead?
Because the box is under too much strain already, or loading the module would take too long, or the module is not in a loadable state.
Concur. This is what ILISP does, and I think it's fine behaviour. One often wants to view some files "read only", not polluting the state of the underlying lisp world with undesired symbols.
I'd imagine something like:
(defvar *slime-follow-reference-style* 'slime-references-use-inferior-lisp-only "Could also be set to slime-references-fallback-on-tags")
so the user can choose what they like.
