You want a code walker? Yeah I'm not going down that rabbit hole. :) So it sounds like it's just me. ASDF:DEFSYSTEM and LW:DEFSYSTEM and probably MK:DEFSYSTEM do something I don't want (automatic recompilation), so they skimp on they thing I *do* want (figuring out dependencies). Fair enough, we make trade-offs all the time.
