04:37 <fiddlerwoaroof> luis: perhaps we could implement hooks?

04:38 <fiddlerwoaroof> i.e. just have a list of functions and call the next function if a previous one returns a truthy value, just like the emacs lisp does?

14:25 <luis> fiddlerwoaroof: do you mean that each event should behave like a hook?

17:03 <fiddlerwoaroof> I was more thinking of using hooks to catch new events before the dcase

17:03 <fiddlerwoaroof> So, swank does this: https://github.com/slime/slime/blob/master/swank.lisp#L1013

17:04 <fiddlerwoaroof> slime takes a different strategy, where the hooks have a chance to prevent the dcase from seeing a new event

17:04 <fiddlerwoaroof> https://github.com/slime/slime/blob/master/slime.el#L2210

18:19 <luis> fiddlerwoaroof: so, let's add a run-hook-with-args-until-success to swank. Sound good.
