It's easy to get in a state where you're not sure how to reproduce it if
you enter a lot of defns at the REPL that didn't come from a
file. That's why editor integration is important.

Yeah, SLIME can do that. For any var (unless it was entered at the REPL
or via eval), you can jump to the file location that contains its
definition. It's also easy to send a whole file to the REPL, which makes
it easy to ensure that the current instance is consistent with what's on
disk.
