does slime/swank support sending text with text-properties to emacs, for displaying?

ecraven
so I'd like to generate some text in lisp, then send it to emacs to display with some formatting already applied

This is not what you want of course, but I am just pointing out how much easier stuff like that would be with CLIM/McCLIM.

https://github.com/K1D77A/cl-coinpayments can someone give this a once over and tell me if they see anything wrong? or if they notice anything I can improve?

set-funcallable-instance-function is used to make an instance of an object funcallable right?

What happens (I guess in most implementations) is that you will copy two items from the function you give as an argument to the FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-OBJECT, namely the entry point and the static environment.

note that in about 99% cases the function that is set is actually a closure over the object itself, in order to be able to access its slots et al
15:33:12

So the function given as an argument is not stored in the FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-OBJECT.
15:34:56
phoe
then, unless you run into one of the edge cases I am thinking of, just use a function object then

SICL bootstrapping uses a lot of FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-OBJECT in the host system, because these objects are both host functions to be executed during bootstrapping by the host, and objects representing target functions with additional slots in them.

And, yes, when the FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-OBJECT represents a SICL generic function, the instance function is a closure over the FUNCALLABLE-STANDARD-OBJECT, so that the target methods can be accessed in order to construct discriminating functions and such.
