01:59 <DrDuck> Is there a way to do a quick lookup of what a built-in function does, in SLIME? As in an executive summary of something you would find in the clhs, without having to actually look it up in your browser.

02:53 <ck_> try C-c C-d d

02:56 <DrDuck> that is indeed useful, but

02:56 <DrDuck> it would be extremely useful if it included even the first sentence of the description from the CLHS

02:57 <DrDuck> so for example with C-c C-d d on consp, i get:

02:57 <DrDuck> https://www.irccloud.com/pastebin/PYYL7WgW/

02:58 <DrDuck> if it could include the first (and only in this case) description sentence, it would be so powerful

02:58 <DrDuck> http://clhs.lisp.se/Body/f_consp.htm

02:58 <DrDuck> " Returns true if object is of type cons; otherwise, returns false. "

03:02 <ck_> Yes, the usefulness of slime-describe-symbol is influenced by the quality of your implementations documentation.

03:05 <DrDuck> why not centralize it to a CLHS data scraper since all langs in this CL family have to conform anyway :p

03:07 <ck_> I believe you're welcome to do that and submit a pull request

03:24 <DrDuck> :P

15:52 <luis> There's an hyperspec lookup function, too.
