What do you mean "by default"?

If load implies byte-compile, then, again, what did you mean by "by default"?
When would non-compiled code be used - just by explicit eval (e.g. `C-x C-e')
instead of load?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding... Are you suggesting that every load would load
byte-compiled code?

So to use the debugger I would need to explicitly eval stuff (e.g. whole
libraries)? Surely you don't mean for users to debug using byte-compiled code?
