Due to the readtable bug in ASDF 3.3.0 I updated the "syntax-control"
branch that for the last three years was supposed to solve all
readtable bugs when building with ASDF.

I merged 3.3.0.1 into the branch, but the branch itself is not ready
for merging into master:
it does either too much or too little, and must be either completed or
simplified.
I think it stands a better chance of bieng merged soon if it is simplified,
so I re-read and re-wrote the documentation for what this branch
should be doing,
and detailed a "Proposal 1" for minimal changes to ASDF that would go
a long way towards bringing sanity in builds of software that modify
the syntax.

I sollicit your feedback:
