I could do that, but I that would also delete

      system-source-registry
      system-source-registry-directory and
      default-system-source-registry

... which I feared might cause me access to bundled SBCL libraries.

That's why I was wondering if it would be helpful to have something like

:ignore-user-default-directories

and

:ignore-system-default-directories
