[asdf-devel] source file encoding

[Cyrus Harmon]

And, even worse, how do we asdf:load-op .asd files that contain non-ascii characters? (besides changing the locale, which, while it will work for a single .asd file, doesn't address the issue of how to load multiple ASDF systems from different locales).

thanks,

Cyrus
