So is this a bug in the ASD (not specifying some required package), a
limitation of ASDF (can't specify that package x depends on variable
y), or just a matter of understanding the tools (load the package you
want, don't mess around with the dependencies)?

Where's the best place to document this so it doesn't bite someone
else in the future?

(cliki seems like the most obvious to me, but what do I know?)

Respectfully,
James
