symex-repl does not work with Sly

[olnw]

Problem Description

Pressing r in the symex evil state should open the Sly REPL. Instead, I get a void function error. I am not too familiar with Sly, but I think this is due to sly-repl being deprecated in favour of sly-mrepl.

Relevant commits:

• joaotavora/sly@420a9c9 sly-repl.el is renamed to sly-repl-old.el

• joaotavora/sly@aa38e42 sly-repl-old.el is deleted

Steps to Replicate

1. Add to example.el:

(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/") t)
(package-initialize)

(setq inferior-lisp-program "sbcl")

(use-package sly :ensure t)

(use-package symex
  :ensure t
  :custom (symex-common-lisp-backend 'sly)
  :config (symex-initialize)
  :bind ("s-;" . symex-mode-interface))

2. Run emacs -Q --load example.el

3. Run M-x toggle-debug-on-error RET

4. Visit a Common Lisp source file

5. Invoke Sly with M-x sly RET

6. Activate symex with s-;, then press r

7. View the backtrace:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (void-function sly-repl)
  sly-repl()
  symex-repl-common-lisp()
  symex-repl()
  funcall-interactively(symex-repl)
  command-execute(symex-repl)
