@defvar load-in-progress
This variable is non-@code{nil} if Emacs is in the process of loading a
file, and it is @code{nil} otherwise.
@end defvar

@defvar load-read-function
This variable specifies an alternate expression-reading function for
@code{load} and @code{eval-region} to use instead of @code{read}.
The function should accept one argument, just as @code{read} does.

Normally, the variable's value is @code{nil}, which means those
functions should use @code{read}.

Instead of using this variable, it is cleaner to use another, newer
feature: to pass the function as the @var{read-function} argument to
@code{eval-region}.  @xref{Eval}.
@end defvar

@ref{Building Emacs}.
