Handling of shorthands is implemented in lread.c. File name handlers for
`load' don't know (yet) what to do.

Should the file name handlers ignore shorthands? Or could you provide
the shorthands implementation in lread.c as a Lisp function, which could
be called from the handlers? Or do you expect the file name handlers to
implement shorthands handling on their own?

Please use APOSTROPHE only in etc/NEWS, and not a GRAVE ACCENT.

Best regards, Michael.
