Looking for beta tester

Looking for someone or someones interested in trying out
a new version of DEBUG::FIND-SOURCE for beta-testing.

The current FIND-SOURCE mechanism does not locate
anything other than function and macro definitions.

I've written a new FIND-SOURCE mechanism which attempts
to record and locate all DEF-form definitions, including DEFVAR's,
DEFCONSTANTs, DEFMETHOD's, DEFCLASS's etc, etc.

It will cycle through all the DEF-forms (in particular, all the DEFMETHODS)
of a single symbol, via successive calls to FIND-NEXT-DEFINITION.

Also, by calling WHEREIS, it will should you all the current and previously
recorded definition locations (files) for a given variable.

Unfortunately it is not integrated into the IDE, except to the extent that
the new FIND-SOURCE works like the old FIND-SOURCE did, positioning
the editor correctly, and a call to FIND-NEXT-DEFINITION will position
the editor correctly.  But there is no command you can issue directly
from the editor to do FIND-NEXT-DEFINITION.  (Anyone
interested in and capable of doing that?)

So if you are interested just send me email.  The current implementation
is just one big file at the moment, so it's easy to load in as Corman
starts from your init file.
