I'm really supportive of leveraging ASDF to load code. However, I don't
want to sacrifice the user's experience. Having a way to tab complete
stumpwm-declared modules with load-module/list-modules is one feature
that's required.
As far as contrib-dir/load-path the only requirement there is that a
clean and easy way of adding new asdf locations. If that's a wrapper
function, great! If its very clear documentation, great!
Thanks for your time researching this issue. If you look back in the
archives a few months, we discussed modules at length, and I did my best
to implement the conclusion of those discussions. That doesn't mean my
implementation doesn't need improving! More work and patches are very
welcome.
Cheers,
Dave
