[asdf-devel] pathname test

[Faré]

This is invalid as a pathname to an actual file, only valid as
something that you can merge with a pathname that has a type:
(make-pathname :directory directory :name "typed-file.type" :type nil)

Conversely, this is probably not a good idea for naming a file to
load, as many implementations will add a type of .lisp or .lsp (or
.fas) before trying to load such a file:
(make-pathname :directory directory :name "untyped-file" :type nil)
Or maybe they shouldn't? Not clear from the spec, but common practice is there.

In other words, you need a different set of valid values for
static-file and file components (though there might be a common
subset).

Can you work on the test as now part of the official testsuite?
