Re: [asdf-devel] Make the CL syntax predictable

femlisp raises an interesting issue: it has (setq *READ-DEFAULT-FLOAT-FORMAT* 'double-float) in setup.lisp, which is cancelled by the with-standard-io-syntax that I introduce in my syntax-control branch. I just pushed a change in said branch to make the 'double-float the default in with-asdf-syntax, which I believe is a more useful convention than what the standard provides.

I don't like the idea of ASDF setting a different *READ-DEFAULT-FLOAT-FORMAT* value during ASDF operations than it will have in the REPL, during plain loading, or compile+loading individual files outside of ASDF.
