Output stream inspector

EXPERIMENTAL

SLIME does not provide a way of inspecting objects printed to output streams; say an object is printed to some stream: #<PERSON {100587C0C3}>, there's no way to access and inspect the object printed.

SLIME ⭐ comes with an extension for inspecting objects that are printed to output streams. To enable, evaluate in Lisp: (setf stream-inspector:*persistent-pointers* t). Then from emacs, move the cursor to some printed object, and M-x slime-inspect-printed.
