load would be even more useful if you were able to supply your own reader as the second argument.

  (def load-my-reader (file read)
    (push current-load-file* load-file-stack*)
    (= current-load-file* file)
    (after
      (w/infile f file
        (whilet e (read f)
          (eval (hook e))))
      (do (= current-load-file* (pop load-file-stack*)) nil)))

Wouldn't this force macros and code to be in separate files, though?

It forces macro-expanders and code to be in separate files. You can still put macros in the code file, as long as your macro-expander can understand them.
