Display of multiple return values

[fosskers]

Hi, thanks again for Sly.

I'm trying to fix a display bug in my sly-overlay contrib library. Evaluating (values 1 2) via the normal (sly-eval-defun) prints => 1, 2 in the echo area, but its counterpart sly-overlay-eval-defun is showing the following:

and I'm trying to figure out why.

sly-eval-defun eventually arrives at sly-eval-with-transcript with a form arg of:

(slynk:interactive-eval (values 1 2)

Immediately printing the value in the :ok branch of sly-rex, we see:

1, 2

Now, sly-overlay-eval-defun (being blocking) takes a different execution path and arrives at sly-eval with a sexp arg of:

(slynk:pprint-eval (values 1 2))

Immediately printing the value in the :ok branch of sly-rex, we see:

12

The two slynk calls seems to go here and here. The latter calls slynk-pprint-values, and my guess is that this branch and the call to terpri somehow aren't behaving as expected. At the very least, no newline seems to be printed into the string-stream.

Suggestions:

• An optional sep arg could be added to slynk-pprint-values so that pprint-eval could specify , as a separator instead to match interactive-eval.

Thoughts? Thanks again.
