Document MAKE-OPERATION.

@code{operate} invokes @var{operation} on @var{system}.

@code{oos} is a synonym for @code{operate} (it stands for operate-on-system).

@var{operation} is a symbol that is passed,

along with the supplied @var{initargs},

to @code{make-operation} (which will call @code{make-instance})

to create the operation object.

@var{component} is a component designator,

usually a string or symbol that designates a system,

sometimes a list of strings or symbols that designate a subcomponent of a system.

@var{operation} is a symbol that is passed,

The @var{initargs} are passed to the @code{make-instance} call

when creating the operation object.

@c We probably want to deprecate that, because

@c (1) there is a mix of flags for operate, for the operation-class, for the plan-class, etc.

@c (2) flags to operations have never been well-supported, anyway.

@c The future solution probably involves having an explicit :operation-options keyword or some such

@c (if operation options are not wholly eliminated), a separate :plan-options, etc.

@var{initargs} for operations are now deprecated, and will be removed.

For more details, @pxref{make-operation}.

Note that dependencies may cause the operation

to invoke other operations on the system or its components:

the new operations will be created

@defun @code{make-operation} @var{operation-class} @Arest{} @var{initargs}

@anchor{make-operation}

The @var{initargs} are passed to @code{make-instance} call

when creating the operation object.

@strong{Note:}@var{initargs} for @code{operation}s are now deprecated,

and will be removed from ASDF in the near future.

@strong{Note:} @code{operation} instances must @strong{never} be created

using @code{make-instance} directly: only through

@code{make-operation}. Attempts to directly make @code{operation}

instances will cause a run-time error.
