In SBCL and Allegro, it's possible for UIOP to create a pathname for a file whose name is "*" and then we can find a file with such a(n odd) pathname. On ABCL, though, this gives me an error: (truename (ensure-pathname "*")) ``` (truename (uiop:ensure-pathname "*")) #<THREAD "interpreter" native {21C91F12}>: Debugger invoked on condition of type FILE-ERROR Cannot find the TRUENAME for a wild pathname. ``` But actually, I don't think this *is* a wild pathname: ``` CL-USER(4): (describe (uiop:ensure-pathname "*")) #P"*" is an object of type PATHNAME: HOST NIL DEVICE NIL DIRECTORY NIL NAME "*" TYPE :UNSPECIFIC VERSION NIL ``` *this* is a wild pathname: ``` CL-USER(5): (describe (parse-namestring "*")) #P"*" is an object of type PATHNAME: HOST NIL DEVICE NIL DIRECTORY NIL NAME :WILD TYPE NIL VERSION NIL ``` Is this an ABCL bug, since it means ABCL cannot address a file whose name is "*"? The interested may refer to [this ASDF issue](https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/asdf/asdf/-/issues/140) and the corresponding merge request. Thanks!
