I would welcome this functionality to be included in SLIME. Currently,
asdf-binary-locations does the right thing with storing the binaries in the
right places, but compiling file interactively during development stores it in
source directory. This is very inconvenient, especially when using more than one
implementation, because your source directory is polluted with binaries
differing with suffix.
