 It would be nice for users/plugin-devs to be able to load certain core
 files before the core actually bootstraps them.

 This may sound a bit weird but hear me out: In the case of the plugin
 https://github.com/stayallive/wp-sentry its about a error tracking plugin
 which registers a custom exception handler via `set_exception_handler`

 This plugin needs to be loaded/bootstraped as early as possible to
 register that exception handler to send possible exceptions in the
 wordpress bootstrapping process to wherever it is needed.

 To make this possible nothing to major has to happen in the wordpress
 core. Its just about the difference between `require` and `require_once`.
 I'll provide a PR which replaces all the `require` with `require_once` in
 the `wp-settings.php`

 Looking forward to your feedback!
