Put like this I would say that my natural inclination is to say that
.fasb should (always?) have precedence over a bunch of .fas if
the bunch of .fas provides the same functionality as the .fasb.

Well, the idea is indeed to let #'cl:lisp-implementation-version be free
to have some trailing data like perhaps a test level marker ("alpha",
"beta", "rc1"...). Otherwise our three little stooges up here would
be pretty redundant, wouldn't they?

But currently this returns T:

(string= (lisp-implementation-version)
             (concatenate 'base-string
                                  (si::mkcl-major-version)
                                  "."
                                  (si::mkcl-minor-version)
                                  "."
                                  (si::mkcl-patch-level)))
