Hi Tobias,
One thing, that you might want to use instead of :weakly-depends-on is
feature dependencies.
The syntax is (:feature ) in dependency list, like this:
(defsystem #:test
:depends-on (#:cl-ppcre
(:feature :custom-readtables))
Although, I didn't try it in modu
Is this one of those cases where you have to do some kind of oddball
dependency failure trapping?
I have always disliked the fact that ASDF makes you implement
conditionals as error-handlers. It seems like there should be a nicer
syntax for conditionals in system definitions
Sorry, I'm on va

Sorry, I understood the reader macros were intended to appear in the ASDF
itself. I obviously misread yo
Dear Tobias,
I personally think this "weakly-depends-on" is a horrible mess.
If you want FOO, require FOO. If you want FOO+READTABLE, require FOO+READTABLE.
And so have two systems FOO and FOO+READTABLE. I think that's what the
dwim.hu guys now do. It also works better with XCVB, this way.

Bad. I already spoke about why I am against reader conditionalization in
ASDF files. Dependencies should only be either features (strictly CL
implementation dependent not the ones introdu
Quite a few libraries come with reader hacks. They usually
come with a ENABLE-FOO-SYNTAX function. I'd like those
libraries to optionally depend on the named-readtables
library, and define a named readtable that includes their
hacks. So users can just use (IN-READTABLE FOO:SYNTAX)
on a per-file ba
