Documentation states that LoadFile has advantages over LoadFrom, but
the difference in semantics is not clear for me... Especially there is
a sentence in LoadFile docs:
"LoadFile does not load files into the LoadFrom context, and does not
resolve dependencies using the load path, as the LoadFrom method
does."

I have no clue what "does not resolve dependencies using the load
path" means in practice.
Probably the first step to do is try exchanging LoadFrom to LoadFile
in our sources (there are only two such places) and try if everything
still works :)

I will do this in a moment on linux machine.
