Another reason is that we allow the programmer to refer to systems with
symbols as well as strings, and symbols are not -- without a substantial
nuisance -- case-sensitive.
I'm afraid you are better off with "solve-solvable2". And avoid
"solve_solvable" because underscores are not legal characters in logical
pathnames.

Quick response for now: yes, lowercase naming is a requirement. There
are a number of reasons for this, including the fact that CL's logical
pathnames are case-insensitive.

Hi,
The ASDF manual says that the name of a system is a lowercase string.
Is that actually a requirement?
I was trying to create an .asd system which has a name with mixed
upper- and lowercase characters and the system is stored in a file of
the same name on a case-sensitive file system (Linux). But I get
"Component Foo not found" for that. If I change the name of the
system
and the name of the file to lowercase, the system is found.
For the record, I've pasted the would-be mixed-case named system
below. It contains stuff that will make it generally unloadable since
you don't have my maxima-file hackery. If it turns out we need to go
into this in more detail, I will devise a more minimal example. But
first maybe someone can say what the name requirement is.
best,
Robert Dodier
