Thanks. I started to implement this idea, but I'm concerned because ASDF already defines an unspecialized :before method on OPERATE. Is it safe to clobber it? If not, what should I do instead?
Well, I would use a :before method with slightly different specializers than (operation component), e.g. (operation system), since you're only interested in systems. (beware: poiu does that, too, on (operation t))
