Slime uses lisp-mode with Lisp files but adds some minor modes on the
top of it. The most important addition is slime-mode but there are
usually other minor modes too, depending on the configuration. I happen
to have slime-autodoc-mode and slime-trace-dialog-mode.

Slime's REPL is a major mode (slime-repl-mode) which uses a couple of
Slime's minor modes too.
