Hi,

is there any intrinsic reason why LIST-THREADS stores the currently active threads in *THREAD-LIST*? Since we transmit the actual thread ids back to Emacs, we could simply use them to retrieve the thread objects, couldn't we?

I can see it being useful if you also want to display threads that have stopped. But for that, LIST-THREADS should take the UNION between the old *THREAD-LIST* and the list of all currently running threads. I'm not sure I like that, though, as it'll make the Slime Threads buffer fill with garbage from all the stopped LIST-THREAD threads. Opinion? -T.
