Funny, but ASDF 1 at some point (commit aa52ad22 1.128 to 1.636) up was defining its own method combination, so users could write their own methods without overwriting ASDF's (but still overwriting each other's).

In practice it was only used for two :around methods for perform, with one being renamed perform-with-restarts in the end. It may also have helped with portability to gcl, that was added at the same time.

Uh, I meant *removing* that method combination may have helped with portability to gcl.
