I have a library that provides `DEF-UNIMPLEMENTED` as a macro for defining stub functions. When you compile a file with unimplemented functions, you get a warning of the type `FOO:UNIMPLEMENTED-STUB` in my library `FOO`.

I'd like to put in an asdf system definition a file spec something like this:

(:file "file-with-stubs"
  :method (:around (o c) 
            (handler-bind 
((foo:unimplemented-stub
                              #'(lambda (c)
                                  (print c)
                                  (muffle-warning c))
                (call-next-method)))

but, of course, the package `foo` doesn't exist when this is read (although I could put `(asdf:load-system "foo")` upstream of the enclosing defsystem).

This isn't a case that's nicely consistent with Faré's hack for translating strings or keyword symbols, nor does it seem easy to use `find-symbol` for this purpose.

Thoughts?
