Complete the "Glime" facility (context-sensitive dynamic help/documentation facility in Slime)

[reiniervandijk]

1585: more of an opinionated issue perhaps, but the mini-buffer in 1585 now shows class signatures during editing of object forms and it shows all potential functions arguments for the "the" macro. This results in a mini-buffer that regularly changes size and takes quite a lot of space (multiple lines). It understand it is the intention of the mini-buffer to provide some hints to the user, but it should not distract, I guess.

This is the new "glime" facility and is still somewhat experimental.

It can be suppressed by commenting out the compile and loading of
"glime.lisp" in gdl/emacs/gdl.el. In this regard we should update the
startup function in this gdl.el so it can be customized in the user's
personal .emacs-glime in the home directory.

We have put considerable effort into developing this first version of
glime, so other feedback is very welcome.

Considering the considerable effort spent, let me start by first saying: great initiative! I think this type of facility is very welcome in Gendl.

Open for bids: $500-800

Glime has to be finished and polished. The basic functionality is there, so it would take someone with CL and Emacs Lisp skills to read through the implementation, understand enough about Gendl to understand what it is supposed to do, and clean it up.

Please contact Genworks before initiating work on this project, so the detailed scope and requirements can be agreed.
