The problem is that the asdf framework does not lend itself to returning things from ops (particularly if you need to roll up subsidiary results from sub-operations). ___ Robert P.

To me, the most interesting advantage that I see in ASDF providing a test operation, is that it should allow for automatic testing of arbitrary software packages.
Indeed! See http://ecls.sourceforge.net/logs_lib.html
I do not see how providing a stream argument is relevant to that. Or do you propose that people should /parse/ a test framework's output?
Please, please do not force that upon us. It would be so EASY to ask each tester to just return a sequence or number with the tests that failed!
