 It's actually possible to turn messages like this off. If you're driving
 maxima via a pexpect interface, that might be the proper thing to do. The
 key is the "Common Lisp HyperSpec", the de facto official CL
 documentation. Looking at {{{load}}} leads to the global variable
 {{{*load-verbose*}}}:

 http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/HyperSpec/Body/v_ld_prs.htm#STload-
 verboseST

 It's on by default in ECL, but can be turned off:
