Package extensions usage

[Faré]

Two links:

1- The aforementioned package-inferred-system extension to ASDF, which
is standard since ASDF 3.1 (from May 2014, now included with all
modern maintained CL implementations, which includes ABCL, Allegro,
CCL, CMUCL, ECL, LispWorks, MKCL, SBCL, but not the also supported
CLISP, CormanCL, GCL, Genera, MCL, MOCL, SCL, XCL).

It works well, is actually used in production by several systems, and
does actually provide a more maintainable package discipline than the
traditional "everything in one big package".

2- My experimental system package-renaming, which allows you to
portably rename packages around some files, though it comes with some
practical limitations.

I haven't actually used it, but it can portably implement local
package nicknames, if you really want them.
