Some time ago, I proposed that ASDF provide a stream argument to the
test-op, providing a place into which the testing tool could dump its
test report for human inspection.  I can't say that this suggestion
received universal approbation.  Or disapprobation.  It merely  
received
near-universal lack of interest! ;-)

Sigh. I think this is a good idea; if we added a test-stream slot to  
the test-op, then test systems could find it there.

A tricky part is that test systems may not want to rely on the  
existence of ASDF while running. So they'll need some sort of adaptor  
that adds stuff to the ASDF operation if it exists. Would it make  
sense to define and export *current-operation* to make this easier?

Related to the question of what the test-op should provide to its
invoker is the question of how dependencies should be propagated.


I think that the default is that test-op depends on load-op.

other thoughts?

mix stream delegation into the operation based on the slot value.
