I mis-stated my problem due to a lack of understanding of DEFAULTF [the
function].  What I want is a hook into the LOAD de-sugaring syntax, so that
I can write a MLOAD function, which before passing its argument to LOAD, can
first to some hair, based on the file to be loaded.  What I want is to find
the file that LOAD will load if I pass it a given argument.  For instance,
LOAD of an atom will check to see if a FASL file exists, else go for a > file,
else crap out, etc.  I want to do all that stuff, but then just get my hands
on the actual file-name before the file is loaded.  Simple?
