It should "just work": the hook ABL uses is a defmethod on output-files,
and output-files is amongst the methods declared as redefined
(either fmakunbound or uninterned) by the ASDF magic package redefiner.
Thus any previously defined ABL should be invalidated by loading ASDF 2.

Please try it and report any bug.
