[Apologies for reposting, but it seems that my followup to a thread back from November has been missed, so I'm reporting this again (with some slight updates) to make it easier to notice]

I recently upgraded from 2007-05-24 to 2007-11-16 snapshot, and I notice there are some useful features that are now gone. I've tried enabling basically everything in contrib/, but those two I can't get back:
- Inspecting a (plain) function object now only shows its name and
docstring. It used to show much more, in particular recorded debug information, source file and disassembled compiled code
I fixed that now in CVS.
I'm seeing the same thing again, everything but the name, docstring and lambda list has disappeared. I first noticed that with CVS snapshot from 06-02-2008 (updated from an earlier snapshot of early December I believe, which worked as advertised). It's still the case with CVS from 10 minutes ago. Additionally, I have updated my SBCL to 1.0.14 from 1.0.10 (after updating SLIME and noticing the missing functionality), and it seems that now even the dosctring has disappeared, and only name and lambda list are displayed.
Cheers, Maciej

We have a method EMACS-INSPECT which is specialized to the various types. The problem is that the SBCL backend defines a method for functions but also the fancy-inspector (which is largely backend independent). Previously it was possible to give one of the methods precedence, but since a few days that's no longer possible and the fancy-inspector just redefines the method for functions because it is loaded after the backend. We could delete the method from the fancy-inspector, but I don't know if that's appropriate for all backends.
Helmut.
