You may want LOAD to treat [1] as a block as opposed to (LOAD/ALL) a block
within a block.

The /all refinement is already used by save and mold and relates to
serialized format. The /all refinement of load is the logical complement to
/only. I can see why it was named /all (as it is the opposite of /only in
some respects) but it is a different /all than used elsewhere (or in REBOL
parlance, it is used in a different context ;) ).
