The way SLIMPL is intended to work is
 - Vim embeds a Perl interpreter already, so we will use Perl
 - Create a Perl module that can run in Vim so that we can open a
socket and talk to Swank
 - Write either Perl code or Vim scripts to interface with Swank, ie
use Vim script and Perl to rewrite the Slime frontend
