Patch to SLIME, makes it easy to see what has been edited but not compiled

[William Bland]

I've been trying to subscribe to the slime-devel mailing list this
morning, but it seems to be unwell - it hangs forever when I enter my
details and press the "subscribe" button.

So I'm posting to cll instead - hope nobody minds.

I wrote a little patch last night that helps me keep track of what code
has been edited but not recompiled:

It may, of course, be buggy and/or not done the right way. Nevertheless
it works for me and I hope others may find it useful.

Best wishes,
Bill.

I hope it is included in the next release.

Thanks.

Sounds like something which could be made to play nicely
with highlight-changes-mode, maybe.

Good point, thanks. I just checked, and the two features do indeed play
very nicely together. Since they both use overlays, they can coexist
quite happily and present the user with both pieces of information at the
same time.

Best wishes,
Bill.

committed it, the feature is now in cvs SLIME.

Best wishes,
