[asdf-devel] CONSTANTLY in HANDLER-BIND

If I understand this piece of code correctly, this handler-bind entry
is there because a MISSING-COMPONENT is an error, yet one you want to
exclude from the handling by the next handler, for error, below.
I suppose an alternative solution would have been to put a
(unless (typep e 'missing-component) ...) around the body of the next handler.
