[Openmcl-devel] Query about ASSERT and COMPILER-LET

[Michał "phoe" Herda]

I always ask Quicklisp about where it pulls its sources from.

In this case:
https://github.com/quicklisp/quicklisp-projects/blob/master/projects/iterate/source.txt

This means that https://gitlab.common-lisp.net/iterate/iterate is the
place we want to submit our patches to.
