Software is hard. > Actually, the reason I wasn't seeing Zach's bug when running in SLIME is because I was running my asdf on top of the require'd asdf; now since input-files is not included in the list of redefined-functions, I was still benefitting from a method from the previous ASDF that explicitly overrode the default method, forcing modules to actually have no input-files. So it was actually my bug to have deleted this method instead of making it a method on parent-component. There. Mea culpa.
