#2 DOCUMENT's incorrect error message about format

[mirko]

If I specify a system by keyword (instead of path) in DOCUMENT, I get an error about unknown format. For example, this invocation

(document :snell :documentation-title "SnellDoc 5-18" :format 'html)

results in the error message

HELAMBDAP: unknown resulting documentation format HTML.
   [Condition of type SIMPLE-ERROR]

 0: [RETRY] Retry SLIME REPL evaluation request.

  4: (CCL::CALL-CHECK-REGS DOCUMENT :SNELL 

The problem goes away if I specify the system by its source directory like so:

(document (asdf:system-source-directory :snell) :documentation-title "SnellDoc 5-18" :format 'html)

Ok. I can add a catch all method on the first argument. I will not add a method that searched systems based on a keyword.

The use will always have to be

(document (find-system :snell) ...)

OK by me.
