Autodetection of foo/bar as meaning "read it from foo.asd" is an
asdf3-ism, but systems named like that work on asdf2 (and asdf1) just
like any other system defined in a .asd — of which there used to be a
lot even before this convention was invented. i.e. once defined asdf
can use them, but before the .asd file is loaded asdf1&2 have no idea
where to look for them.
