Does slime provide a way to abort reading from the listener?

For example, say you evaluate a form that reads from the listener:

? (read)

At this point, swank has dispatched :read-string to the client/emacs. Swank then wait-for-event :emacs-return-string until it gets the string.

How can the wait-for-event be aborted from the client to result in :read-aborted?

With C-c C-c

Thanks. The resulting :emacs-interrupt event does indeed induce a break in the (read)... but it also activates the debugger.

I need to abort the reading and get back to the repl-prompt without further ado. How can the wait-for-event be aborted from the client yet avoid activating the debugger?

Perhaps you can use something like this:

(swank::interrupt-thread (swank::find-repl-thread (swank::default-connection)) (lambda () (abort)))
