[asdf-devel] READTABLE isolation in ASDF

this reminds me of the general idea of backwards compatibility: people who want to live without this feature can chose not to upgrade, as always. or if they need the new stuff, then they can just patch asdf locally to disable the enforcement of this. or asdf could even accommodate this with a defsystem property that can opt a system out of this otherwise useful isolation.

Yes, that is right; please see my earlier email with next steps:

1. The READTABLE isolation feature WILL NOT BE IN THE NEW RELEASE.

2. When/if it is released, the READTABLE isolation feature will only be an *opt-in* strict mode item.

Thanks! R
