All this is very strange.  There is no symbol PATHNAME-AS-DIRECTORY in
the SWANK package.  It's in the CL package, but we don't shadow it.
And we never (directly) call PATHNAME-AS-DIRECTORY or PATHNAME.

Do you add methods to NO-APPLICABLE-METHOD in your code?  I noticed
that NO-APPLICABLE-METHOD is a bit quirky in Allegro5.  Is this fixed
in newer versions?
