We provide a backward compatible API, but we don't have a *forward*
compatible one, because of the new XDG functions.

Agreed.  OK, the next time I push, I will push 3.2.0.1, because I'd like
to have people be able to start checking for version 3.2 for the new XDG
functions (and eventually the new test-operation functions).

Should we push just asdf-3.2 or also uiop-3.2 (since the new XDG
functions are properly UIOP)?
