"Load SYSTEMS the quicklisp way.

SYSTEMS is list of designators for systems to be loaded.
It can also be a designator for a single system.
A valid designator for a system is either a lower case string or a keyword symbol.

The &KEY arguments have the following meanings:
:VERBOSE
If non-NIL SYSTEMS will be compiled verbose if they weren't compiled before.
Otherwise dots are displayed to show compilation progress.
The default is NIL.
:SILENT
If non-NIL QUICKLOAD doesn't output on *STANDARD-OUTPUT*.
The default is NIL.
:PROMPT
If non-NIL the user is prompted to continue loading the SYSTEMS by hitting enter for each system.
The default is NIL.
:EXPLAIN
is not used in the default method.

QUICKLOAD will return SYSTEMS.
