Got it.  So you didn't object to the old level of verbosity?  I'm
confused because it seemed like the alternatives were new, greater
verbosity, versus silence, neither of which seems very appealing to me.

I guess the challenge that's specific to ql is that you'd like to be
able to throttle verbosity, but the use of invocations of LOAD-SYSTEM
inside .asd files (rather than in depends-on) breaks that, right?  Is
the right answer (horrors! ;->) a dynamically bound verbosity-controller?
