I thought this was one possible problem but obviously this is not the one

you hit upon. (And I believe it still is a loophole worth closing).

At first, your solution looked like it wasn't working. Then, I tried
to reproduce, and then it worked against ASDF 3.1.2. But still not
against the syntax-control branch. I'm confused.

It turns out that I have never taken time to do a complete and detailed

inspection of each and every location in the MKCL's code where

object up-to-date-ness is required, until now that is. And what you hit

upon, trying to do your ASDF upgrade, revealed a good number of

gaping holes inside MKCL in that area. So now I hope I have plugged

all of them properly without missing one.

The whole fix is in MKCL's git repo master head. I tried it on my copy

of ASDF syntax-control branch head and it worked OK. Could you

please confirm that it also works for you?

This will be part of MKCL 1.1.9 that I will push out the door as a released

version in a few days from now.

Thank you for your help solving this MKCL's issue.
