I do not type too fast. You should understand my sentence in context: this
can not be done without changing asdf.lisp If you change the logic of ASDF
so that dependencies are propagated to other classes of operations, then
your change makes sense. But as you formulated it in your email, it implied
just a change of the extension itself.
