CREATE-SWANK-SERVER has also a DONT-CLOSE argument to keep the socket
open.

The idea is that slime-translate-{to,from}-lisp-filename-function
should convert remote filenames to TRAMP filenames, e.g.:

(setq slime-translate-from-lisp-filename-function
  (lambda (lisp-filename)
    (concat "/ssh:remote-host:" lisp-filename)))

should be enough for M-., but I never tried.
