Hello folks,

I would like to found out whether subclassing operations is really practical. The operation hierarchy built-in within the asdf.lisp source file is actually of two-level depth.

Has anybody ever defined an operation subclass and specialize methods on it?

There's stuff in asdf-ecl.lisp you might like to read, some of which could be ported to other lisps (e.g. via FASL concatenation and linking of any additional corresponding .a or .so)
