Dear Jean-Claude,

ASDF 3.3 (the "plan" branch) is failing miserably on MKCL, because it
signals a non-serious condition (that is only handled in some
contexts) as a way to detect out-of-date .asd files. All other CL
implementations know to ignore such conditions when they are not
handled. But instead MKCL borks with error messages such as:

Unhandled condition signaled during command line arguments processing:
system test-asdf is out of date.

Looking at the most probable source of this message (in src/lsp/cmdline.lsp)

I am a bit puzzled by the situation...

Please, reassure me on the exact version of MKCL you're using: 1.1.10-???

And how do you invoke MKCL to get this result (command line arguments)?

Do you have handy a small scenario to reproduce this problem?

I believe it's a bug in MKCL, maybe specifically in command line processing.
Can you fix it?

Looks more like a ill-advised feature than a bug, that I can surely fix/improve

to better satisfaction. I am investigating...

Should I add some backward compatibility for older versions of MKCL,
or is it superfluous?

Not sure yet. I'll tell you with the fix.
