New description:

 It would be nice if the `wp_mkdir_p()` function contained a hook for
 plugins to interact with when a directory gets created.

 The use-case I have currently is that Easy Digital Downloads (for example)
 creates `.htaccess` files and empty `index.php` files in its own
 `uploads/edd` directory, and each directory inside it, as one way of
 protecting those empty directories from being publicly browsable.

 Because there is no action hook here, EDD uses a daily transient, which
 leaves new directories potentially open until the transient expires.

 An action hook on directory creation would allow for EDD to create those
 files immediately.
