I think we can't do that, because of things like system-installed source code
and users who use both clisp and ecl (that share the .fas suffix) or
i386 and x86-64 SBCL (that share the .fasl suffix), etc.

If a novice wants to know where the fasls are, I prefer to give the explanation
once than to give plenty of explanations with as many special rules.

Done in 1.665: (asdf:disable-output-translations)

See above.
