The former, I think.  This is to keep the original semantics of 'load'
as it existed before the native-compilation: if you say

  (load "foo.el")

Emacs loads the .el file, even if the corresponding .elc file exists.

But if doing that in 'load' causes some trouble, I think we should at
least do this on the level of 'load-file' and 'load-library'.

Thanks.
