Thanks... i'll submit a new pull request shortly with the cosmetic
changes.

Well, yes, my idea, now that factor-mode is in better shape, is to
implement something like slime, which is the most fun environment i've
ever used. I know little about Factor yet, but i've already realized its
potential in this (and many others) respect, and to me implementing the
equivalent of the swank protocol will also be a good way of learning
more about Factor.

So, first thing i was thinking is to hack a 'superior factor
interaction' mode which talks via a socket with a running factor
listener. From there, adding slimy features should be a breeze.

If you have suggestions for features beyond those present in slime, i'm
all ears!

> Let me know if you need any help on the Factor side of things.

I'll sure need lots of help on this side :) For starters, i've noticed
there's already a 'factor-telnet' function in factor.el that, i presume,
can connect to a running listener. Is that correct? What does the factor
listener side need to do?

Thanks!
jao

PS. BTW, Ed, i messed things up and lost a message with subject
'factor.el credit' that you sent me earlier today: could you please
resend it to my gnu.org address?
