The comments in the file say that we *must* use load-asdf to load a .asd file, but not *WHY* we must do so.
Why is this necessary?
Because asdf:load-asdf sets up the correct evaluation environment, including setting the correct *package*.
OK, again, if this is required, why don't we ENFORCE it?
Because in some specific cases it could be made to work without it (all ASDF symbols package-prefixed, etc...) and some old-timers complained that we're breaking their dev workflow if we make it impossible to reload an .asd using C-c C-c or cl:load
