Oh, such an ABCL specific test is quite easy:  I guess I thought Faré was asking
for something that ran on all implementations, which I didn’t quite understand.

But I must confess I dont really understand how to insert it into the ASDF test
suite cleanly.

Should I be looking to add a foo.{script,lisp,asd} triple in the `asdf/test` directory
with an assertion in foo.script?

How do I conditionalize the test to only be run on ABCL?

Noted:  I’ll take a look, eventually.  The hairy backquote/read time conditional macro
problem that Faré found is currently really stumping me, but I intend to
eventually get around to all the ABCL specific problems that the release/test
cycle of asdf-3.0.3 revealed.
