Comment:

 You may want to reconsider this request. After all, when themes and
 plugins are uploaded via ftp, wordpress recognizes them right away (after
 a refresh.)

 I would think the idea for adding files might be more difficult b/c if a
 massive quantity were added, the time to write entries to the database
 would be tricky to manage. But maybe it could be added as a process users
 could make into a cron job or a one-off runner?

 I see the point about suggesting it as plugin material.  However maybe it
 is too important a feature to leave to the plugin world? I've read dozens
 of posts surrounding this issue.  Should be reconsidered for a mainstream
 WP feature.

 Thanks for listening.
