Inspector-Hook


Hi,

I have been in a position today where I really wished a way to inspect
an object from within a function contour. However, I find the native
inspector of SBCL not really convenient, and would have really liked if
(inspect foo) would pop up the Slime inspector.

For this, I'd like to write a short CDR proposing an *INSPECTOR-HOOK*
that works very similiarly to *DEBUGGER-HOOK*. 

Has any Climacs hacker thought about this issue before? Does Climacs
contain any trick given its strong OO nature?

A draft of the proposal can be found at

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.cdr.general/101

Comments should go to cdr-discuss mailinglist.

FWIW, you can use SB-IMPL::*INSPECT-HOOK* for this.

...but a CDR would indeed be nice!

Yes, oops! I blame trying to lay off coffee.

No, we just call CLOUSEAU:INSPECTOR.

An inspector hook sounds like a fair idea, though.
