Unfortunately, I think that the abstraction is not solely contained
in ABCL-ASDF:RESOLVE, but also ABCL-ASDF:RESOLVE-DEPENDENCIES.
RESOLVE should be sole entry point, but there are a number of ways
I wish to call it (with #\: separated ids, with #\\ separated ids,
with a variable number of strings) that I never have finished working
over.

Since getting to this in the "next few days" has proved to optimistic,
I have filed a [ticket][328] so people can find the patch as well
if they absolute need it in the meantime.
