Hi -
In Slime 2.0, if you're in the REPL and you type the beginning of a form, and then control up-arrow, you iterate through forms that match the portion of the form that you've typed so far. In CVS Slime this no longer works. (I don't know when it stopped working.)
To illustrate, in Slime 2.0 if you typed:
CL-USER> (blah 'hi 2 3 4) CL-USER> (monkey 10 10 10)
and then
CL-USER> (bl[control up-arrow]
Slime would offer up the (blah ...) form. Now, it offers up the last form typed, the (monkey ...) form.
Perhaps this was a purposeful change? (Although I don't know who wouldn't want the 2.0 behavior.) If so, is there any way to get the 2.0 behavior back? If it was NOT a purposeful change, I'm surprised that I'm the only person who's noticed this - I use this feature all the time, and assumed others did, too.

Did you try M-P (slime-repl-previous-input) instead of C+[up] (slime-repl-backward-input)? For me, that gives the behavior you describe.
