all its dependencies, to load them in the required order. The only
difference with respect to <span class="symbol">ASDF:LOAD-OP</span> is that it builds
a single <acronym class="acronym">FASL</acronym> file per module, thus being potentially faster and more
resource efficient.</p></div><div class="refsect1" title="Examples"><a name="id652151"></a><h2>Examples</h2><p>Assume you want to load the <span class="application">CFFI</span> library, which has been registered
