I might be interested in this but the times I used slime for chicken it
felt a little 'off'. Don't really remember what parts of it though.
Maybe they are the parts you've been submitting patches for.
I was also looking if I could get some more features into the egg,
for example partial completion.

thanks for that.

From the wiki:
Argument hints
start typing an expression (e.g. (call/cc... )) and the argument
list will appear in the minibuffer. Note the function must be
compiled with debug information.
And I can remember it sorta working. But don't take my word for it.
cheers,
Richard
