Equivalent to "require", but loads the file at compile-time (identical
to "require" in the interpreter).

(I'd like to add here that there are about 50 ways of doing almost
everything in a reasonable featureful Lisp dialect. If a particular form
is not found useful or estethically pleasing, one can simply use
a different flavor. TIMTOWTDI, FWIW. Yes, this is confusing for beginners,
admittedly)
