Hi, with that (any my prior patches), SLIME yields valuable apropos output. Here are some examples: bignum Type: (not documented) bit Function: (not documented) Setf: (not documented) Type: (not documented) bit-vector Type: (not documented) Class: (not documented) load-time-value Special Operator: (not documented) locally Macro: (not documented) Setf: (not documented) ext:local Macro: Return the closure defined locally with LABELS or FLET. Setf: Modify the local definition (LABELS or FLET). Although most stuff in CLISP has no documentation string, I find it already valuable to appear there as type/class/variable/ setf-able/macro/special-operator/generic-function/function. Enjoy, Jorg Hohle.
