CLers, I saw a lot of ugly .asd files while addressing compatibility for ASDF 3.3, so here are "ASDF best practices" https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/asdf/asdf/blob/master/doc/best_practices.md …
It comes from ASDF 1's (defun coerce-name (name) (typecase name ... (symbol (string-downcase (symbol-name name))) ...)
