i think the powerful feature is not (only) merely sending code to repl
but the suggestion for function's parameter as the function is updated to repl
for example: (defun xyz (a &option b &rest c &key d) ) ;then send this with ,d (vim+slimv) to swank server
the next time i type (xyz ... vim status bar conveniently states: (xyz a &optional b &rest c &key d)
both happen whether i start typing (xyz in repl or in vim; that's it, the function parameters show up as suggestions in repl and in editor
