This came up in #2350877: Deprecate/rename drupal_add_feed(), drupal_add_html_head(), drupal_add_html_head_link(), drupal_add_http_header(), and allow to be set declaratively in #attached, resp. #2358727: Figure out what if anything libraries API needs for #attached support
Problem/Motivation
There is currently no way to dynamically register libraries. Libraries API will certainly need to do this in contrib, and there are other use-cases as well.
You could always use hook_library_info_alter()to also register new ones, but it results in a alter/weight hell.
Proposed resolution
Introduce a
hook_library_info_build()
which will be fired before executing hook_library_info_alter()
Remaining tasks
User interface changes
API changes
