Improving REPL experience in terminal?
and this prints the documentation of concatenate. As you mentioned, repl-utilities has a few utilities, such as printing a summary for a system. We could go further and ship a web-based image browser, like livedocs.

How do you list which symbols are available for a particular package?
New-ish projects give you a GUI to browse packages and their symbols (functions, macros, variables): https://github.com/mmontone/cl-livedocs, https://github.com/lokedhs/docbrowser, https://github.com/mmontone/lisp-system-browser

Does Common Lisp or CLOS have some library or facility that provides the easy access to an object's methods and properties that Smalltalk does?
Also https://github.com/mmontone/cl-livedocs might help (start a local server and view all packages, classes, functions, variables… of the current image. With full text search. (also docbrowser)
