I have made an extension of package-inferred-system that interprets star `*' and globstar `**' in a package name, which I will use in the future for my library. https://github.com/privet-kitty/wild-package-inferred-system (My motivation is to eliminate the need for manually creating `foo/.../all'-type subsystems that exist only to use-reexport all .lisp files.)

I'm not convinced this is a good idea, but then again I don't understand your use case.

In accordance with the ASDF Best Practices by Faré, I let you know the non-exported facilities of ASDF I had to used: PRIMARY-SYSTEM-P, *DEFPACKAGE-FORMS*, *PACKAGE-INFERRED-SYSTEMS*, AROUND-COMPILE-HOOK, RELATIVE-PATHNAME.

You should ask Robert, who is maintainer, but yes, it makes sense to export these from package ASDF.

I would appreciate any suggestion or correction for the design and implementation of this extension, of course.

A very cursory glance finds nothing wrong with your implementation. I don't love the mismatch between your treatment of wild and the completely unportable treatment of wild by underlying implementations, but that's not your fault.

Also, why don't you use package-inferred-system for your system? :-)

Would you be interested in becoming ASDF co-maintainer and slowly take over from Robert and I?
