I'm not sure what would have changed in pre-0.14.4 that would have affected
this.

The quasi-standard (not really documented, but it's the basis of what
ILISP uses) interface is CCL::%SOURCE-FILES; calling

? (CCL::%SOURCE-FILES 'DOCUMENTATION)

seems to return essentially the same information in 0.14.3 and in the
current bleeding-edge version.

A lot of DOCUMENTATION methods have EQL specializers.  Is that significant ?

I'll download SLIME, and see if I can remember how to invoke and use it ...
