When I use :FORCE, in most cases I do want to recompile solely the specified system, not all its dependencies. In my ideal world, :FORCE T would recompile the specified system only, and :FORCE :ALL would recompile it along its dependencies. Of course that would be backwards-incompatible, so perhaps better stick with the current behaviour for :FORCE T, but add :FORCE :SYSTEM, or :FORCE :SHALLOW, or similiar. -T.
