ASDF establishes a particular environment when using asdf:find-system and asdf:load-system that is not duplicated by a plain CL:LOAD. It has always been this way. You cannot reliably use CL:LOAD to load a system file and have things work.

I notices there's no in-package or qualifiers present in usocket.asd.

Is there any good reason for this? I was thinking of fixing this and doing a pull request. Anyone against?
Thanks,
