Well if you don't care about portability between different lisp 
implementations, and only want to support LW, then LW:DEFSYSTEM is
perfectly cromulent, and it's built-in to LW.

Personally, those trade-offs are fine for me. But I don't like LW:DEFYSYSTEM's
syntax so much ... so https://git.sr.ht/~adamweaver/lw-loader

The Real Experts around here will now chime in to tell me that I'm wrong.
