[slime-devel] suggestion for smarter default meta-. target - ignore colon

; In FOO: Undefined function BLAH-BLAH
Notice the colon (:) after FOO.
It would be nice if typing meta-. in emacs could figure out to go to the definition for FOO, rather than just saying, "No known definition for for: FOO:" That's a good idea, I tripped over this many times. Done in CVS.
There're two new variables now (defvar *find-definitions-right-trim* ",:.") (defvar *find-definitions-left-trim* "#:"). When a symbol is not found, it tries to trim it using string-right-trim and string-left-trim. The left trim is useful for #:foo symbols in package definitions. -- With best regards, Stas.

I like your contributions to this list, however please note that your client seems currently configured to generate HTML-only mail, which can be a problem for some mail readers or mailing list archiving software/sites or gateways... Thanks, -- Matt
