Only one comment from me: be careful not to make it impossible to write
programs that set up the environment that they know they want, and then
call LOAD or COMPILE-FILE.  In other words, right now those functions
are (approximately) primitives that just do one thing, and if they are
changed to also set up a particular environment, the primitives need to
remain accessible too.
