 Superseded by Quicklisp (see Xach2011 \cite{Xach2011}).
 
+The \code{require} of the \code{asdf-install} symbol has the side
+effect of pushing the directory ``~/.asdf-install-dir/systems/'' into
+the value of the \textsc{ASDF} central registry in
+\code{asdf:*central-registry*}, providing a convenient mechanism for
+stashing \textsc{ABCL} specific system definitions for convenient
+access.
