I'm no expert on asdf, but this works:
(asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :json)
followed by
(asdf:oos 'asdf:load-op :json.test)
I think I saw it in either UnCommonWeb which has a lot of systems in one
asd file, or cl-sql, which has an advanced asd file.
And please try out the darcs version of cl-json, I have added some stuff
like a json-bind macro and json-rpc.
There is one thing I want to decide before releasing a new version: I'm
not sure that it is the best idea to intern parsed json in the keyword
package. Any opinions on this matter or other matters are appreciated..

Actually when I code most of my things I keep the programmer-tests in
the same files and system as the rest of the code. I think tests
document and explain how a function is used, and then I don't want to
look in another file.
Why I keep tests in a separate system for cl-json I don't know, I guess
it looks nicer or maybe it is just because I've seen other do this... I
can't really think of really why this is better though..
