Please document the NIL setting of SWANK:*COMMUNICATION-STYLE*. Better yet, select its behavior with a new keyword value, something like :SERVER-LOOP.
Yesterday, I found I needed this setting as was I trying to get Slime working to a non-threaded SBCL running in an environment where its standard input is basically /dev/null.
Thanks very much for Slime. It's fabulous.
