The API exists, see ~/quicklisp/quicklisp/dist.lisp. Conflicts are
resolved according to a user-settable "preference" value, which is just
an integer; higher preferences are loaded before lower preferences. The
granularity of preferences can be individual systems, releases, or
entire dists.

The big drawback right now is the lack of docs.
