I noticed that when you scroll through the history in the slime REPL, when you reach the end it doesn't clear the commandline, as bash and other shells do. I think this is rather inconvenient, so I patched it up. I made it so there's a blank space at the beginning, too, just because. No reason not to.
I added a customization setting under Repl, that defaults to NIL. When it's true, the history will wrap around when the end is reached and you keep going.

Thank you for the patch. I applied this part.

I don't like wrap around, so I left this part out to keep the code simpler. We can re-add it if someone feels strong about this feature.
BTW, I would appreciate if you could include a ChangeLog entry for your patches. Also, try to avoid "-do-" in function names which don't iterate.
Helmut.
