In the current state, SLIME names all inferior lisp buffers
*inferior-lisp*
by default. When starting multiple implementations, we end up with multiple inferior lisp buffers whose only difference is a non-descriptive number suffix.With this patch, we use the name of the implementation as suffix, in a way similar to REPL buffers.
For example with two inferior lisps SBCL and CCL, we now have
*inferior-lisp sbcl*
and*inferior-lisp ccl*
We also name comint processes the same way, but with a dash since there are no "*" characters around to delimit the name.
