If we are going to do this, I would like to disable the bundle
operations on the Mac inside ASDF proper, not just in the tests.

If we know these operations don't work, I think we should simply raise
an "unsupported operation" condition or something like that, rather than
having the poor programmer try to figure out why things went wrong....

Do you know which operations (for which implementations) we should
expect to work and which not on the Mac? I'm afraid I never use any of
the bundle operations, so I'm a bit out of my depth here.
