[Sbcl-devel] nicer DESCRIBE

[Nikodemus S. <nik...@ra...>]

I've committed an improved DESCRIBE in 1.0.29.38, based on my earlier
work along the same lines as per

  http://article.gmane.org/gmane.lisp.steel-bank.devel/7494/match=describe+object

The new output format is roughly:

<object-self-string>
  [<object-type-string>]

Block1:
  Blocklabel1: text
  Blocklabel2: text

Block2:
  Blocklabel3: text

SB-KERNEL::OBJECT-SELF-STRING and OBJECT-TYPE-STRING are generic
functions responsible for making up the header. I tried to make the
type-string as informative as possible -- which does not always mean
the exact type, IMO.

If you run into something suboptimally described, please let me know.

Cheers,
