Edit System is anti-modularity

:required-systems allows you to establish dependencies among
several systems without having to lock in a specific version number,
as would happen if one system were a component system of the oth-
er.
(defsystem registrar
(:pretty-name "Automatic Registration System"
:short-name "Registration"
:default-pathname "reg:reg;"
:required-systems "Scheduling Utilities")...)
When I load a system that depends on another, my :required-systems seems
to be ignored and the system is happily loaded. Does this work under
8.0 ? Are the names for :required-systems :pretty-names or :short-names
?
Thanks, Steve
