Hello,

What follows is a patch to SLIME-REPL-EMIT which allows a cool hack: inserting images into the REPL. I find it useful when experimenting with graphics-related code. CL code:

(defun insert-image-into-repl (filename) (swank::eval-in-emacs `(progn (slime-repl-emit (lambda () (insert-image (create-image ,filename)) (insert #\Newline))) :ok)) (values))

(SLIME-ENABLE-EVALUATE-IN-EMACS needs to be true to make this work.)
