The documentation of LOAD-SOURCE-OP seems contradictory.
At first it says that loading source only (and never compiling) is "not workable."
But later it describes LOAD-SOURCE-OP as doing just exactly the thing that we say is unworkable.
If that is not what LOAD-SOURCE-OP does, what *does* it do?
What is not workable is "ensuring that some components are always loaded as source, while others are always compiled"
What ASDF does is either "compile everything" (with load-op, or load-bundle-op), or "compile nothing" (with load-source-op). Selectively not-compiling some files is not workable, and not meaningful at all in the context of load-bundle-op, which relies on load-op for the compilation.
