Is there already a SLIME feature like a "Generic Function Browser"?

No, but it's not a big deal because there is the inspector. Well, except the inspector is missing a command to copy the object-at-point to the repl ... which reminds me, I have a patch to send in.

With this, you can do the following to remove a method:

#'some-gf

#<Generic-Function ...> C-c I * ... find the method you want ... M-RET

(remove-method ** *)

It would still be nice to have class- and gf-browsers, but with the addition of a copy-down command, the inspector is an okay stand-in for most any kind of browser.

• there might be some other nice things possible but this is what's be most

important, cause every time I modify a method the old method is still there and it's awfully complicated to remove it then.

I feel you here, the syntax of remove-method is, uh, not exactly user-friendly. This comes up for all kinds of data-driven code, so although it's not the perfect solution for methods, if your code looks like mine, it's more important to be able to generally maniuplate stuff from the inspector.
