When it was originally re-added to SBCL, I lobbied for LOAD-1-FOREIGN
to be exported (and to have another name, too, but I lost on that
count ;-) ) for basically the same reasons as you list.  If it should
become internal-only, expect howls of anguish from this direction.

I'm hoping that appropriate whinging to Pierre Mai and Tim Moore can
get the equivalent SYSTEM::LOAD-OBJECT-FILE (iirc) in CMUCL to be
exported too, but that remains to be seen.  It really is (imho) so
much less tacky than LOAD-FOREIGN
