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.
