Okay, so I started making the changes to the othe swank-*.lisp files.
But I couldn't decide whether I should bind
*default-pathname-defaults* in them (when there's no particular reason
to) in order to be consistent with swank-allegro.lisp and to do
something with the argument. Or should I just (declare (ignore
directory))?
