My view is that, if an implementation provides a supported hook to

ASDF's
users are left passing these around on the black market.

People who really don't want that behavior could (push
:disable-asdf-require-hook *features*) before loading ASDF...

could this please at least be duplicated to a variable which has the  
equivalent effect on the function's actions.

r.goldman observed, that my concern may not be self-evident.

one would expect the reader conditionalization to be limited to the vendor-specific hooks, while the operator's generic behavior is left to execution-time controls.

the execution-time control is necessary if the user is to effect the function's behavior in those cases where the vendor has supplied a compiled version of the asdf package.
