If it's not too late to make suggestions on this, mightn't
load-preferences and preference-file-for-system/operation support
loading multiple preference files by default?  Example uses: to
support both site preferences and user preferences; to allow users of
systems that require lots of preferences to split up preferences into
several files; to allow users of systems to put
implementation-specific preferences for a system into separate files
from implementation-independent preferences.

If non-default method combination is now available to the asdf
implemenation, this might be a reasonable use for the list combination
type, too.
