To make sure that library is loaded at least once? There is no way to check 
whether it is loaded via UFFI.
And if you return T ASDF might skip loading altogether.

I've already fixed this, BTW, through tracking what is loaded. Forgot to 
push the patch...

Have you read openmcl mailing list? It turns out shared-initialize which 
injects persistent-object direct superclass is kinda broken.

BTW, is there a reason to do it via shared-initialize instead of 
compute-precedence-list?

Hmm, I haven't checked how ASDF handles it by default, I've tried both NIL 
and T and none of them worked right, IIRC.
But tracking what is loaded is the right thing, right?
