In ASDF 3, there is already a function ASDF/FIND-SYSTEM:LOAD-ASD

Oh, cool! Thanks!

I suppose it could be usefully exported from the ASDF/INTERFACE package. I will leave that to the new maintainer, Robert Goldman.

FWIW, I think it's somewhat useful, yes.

I will certainly see about exporting it in the next release.

Follow-up question: should we be checking to make sure that .asd files are /only/ loaded in the proper context? I.e., should we do something like issue a warning if one tries to load a DEFSYSTEM form when /not/ using this function?

Yes.
