Yes.

Yes.

Also before our big debut we should disentangle slim-vim (nee
ecl-slime) and ecl-repl (and maybe rename ecl-repl to vim-repl or
repl-mode or something, while I'm at it -- ECL already has a REPL!
:).

Unless someone has both a really good name, *and* a really good reason
to switch to it, I'd like to keep the name the same.  I like
"Slim-Vim", and I'd also like to keep some continuity in the mailing
list.  No more than one name change per year, thank you very much!  :)
