Since, at least in 3.0, 'pg load' is so slow, even if the package is
already loaded, would it make sense to allow for loading a package if
not already loaded?

Solution 1: 'pkg load' should only load a package if not already loaded,
unless an option -force is given that reloads the package.

Solution 2: 'pkg load' accept a -require option which loads the package
only if not already loaded.

Solution 3: 'pkg require' loads a package only if not already loaded.
