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.
