[slime-devel] Slime vs Franz Eli

[Chris Kim]

Thanks Stas,
I got #2, #3, issue solved. I'm much happier now.

For #1, swank-backend:*debug-swank-backend* is set to nil by default and I'm 
seeing bunch of swank:.... messages.
As non-slime developer, I'm not interested in swank message at all.
I rather not see them at all, not to clutter debug outputs.
Is there some important reason I'm missing?
