Greetings,
Trying to load a package with ASDF I ran into the following error:
ASDF could not load because Cannot (currently) handle the special form EXTENSIONS:TRULY-THE. #<THREAD "interpreter" {4BC78066}>: Debugger invoked on condition of type SIMPLE-ERROR Cannot (currently) handle the special form TRULY-THE Restarts: ...
I traced the problem to ASDF and not the package I was attempting to load.
Does anyone know anything about this? (I am running the latest SVN head of ABCL)
I've never really understood our TRULY-THE implementation, but this is as good a time as ever.
Searching for the string "(currently)" doesn't seem to show that the error text is sourced anywhere within our source tree, so I would guess that something within the ASDF package you are attempting to load is doing something extra-ordinary.
Any chance you can give a recipe for reproducing this?
