Not necessary but very convenient. My problem was this dependency chain: osicat(syscalls) <- iolib(file-path) <- osicat(high-level) <- iolib(zeta-streams).

Splitting osicat-posix and osicat into different systems would be pretty easy since they already live in different packages, etc. (This is mentioned in osicat.asd.)

True, but I don't want to expose the syscalls into their own package because I intend them to be just an implementation detail, nothing more.

Out of curiosity, what's iolib.pathnames for?

The pathname abstraction that I'm working on. try (iolib.pathnames:file-path "/tmp"), for example
