Hi,

There are some features that I would like to keep that have been removed
(sorry for not noticing this sooner):
- load-path functionality 
  Rationale: there was much discussion about this, but the idea was to
  minimally recapitulate Emacs' load-path and 'add-to-load-path'.  Even
  if it just wraps an asdf call, having it will make emacs users feel at
  home
- Tab completion of available modules.  Right now "C-t ; load-module
  RET" allows me to cycle through all asdf modules *specific to
  stumpwm*, this is important as asdf can register any common lisp
  module, some that are not part of the stumpwm ecosystem

I'm all for offloading as much work to asdf as possible, but I want to
keep some amount of infrastructure in place to help aid uses who aren't
necessarily asdf experts (I switched to stumpwm to help force me learn
more lisp, and I know a fraction of users come to us from emacs/screen
land with little common lisp experience)

Again, I don't want to leave you with the impression that your patch
isn't welcome, it very much is. I just don't want to lose too many
features that I think are useful to less experienced users. 

Cheers,

    Dave
