s/el-get/any Emacs Lisp code/
The only reason I can think why this would not be acceptable is
security. Otherwise this makes a lot of sense.
For security I would propose checksumming any code in the load-dir and
when new files are added or existing files are changed, query the user
and store a file checksum in an alist.
I'm willing to make this facility a package that users can install. But
I think it's better to put it in the Emacs core so it's available by
default and without special action from the user beyond enabling a
single variable. I feel strongly it would enhance Emacs to provide this.
