Should assets which are loaded via Assets<A>::add(..) be reported as loaded by the AssetServer?

[stinkytoe]

I noticed that when I load an asset directly via Asset<A>::add(some_object) that, although I can retrieve the object via Asset<A>::get(handle.id()), that AssetServer seems to have no knowledge of this asset's status.

I would have assumed that it would immediately flag as loaded, but asset_server.is_loaded(handle.id()) returns false, asset_server.load_state(handle.id()) returns LoadState::NotLoaded, and asset_server.get_load_state(handle.id()) returns None.

This same type does report loading/loaded/failed/etc when I load it via an asset path passed to asset_server.load(..) though.

Am I misunderstanding the intent here? Should I avoid mixing implicitly declared and deserialized versions of the same asset type?
