The variable
*binary-file-types*
contains a list of strings naming file types which
load
, load-data-file and
require
recognize as binary (FASL) files. FASL files are the output of compile-file, dump-forms-to-file or with-output-to-fasl-file.
You need to add a type to this list if you want load such files but they have an extension which is different from the default (the value of *binary-file-type*).
