I'm not sure that I understand what you mean by functionality that
mimics a map.  If this is not just about automatic reload, can you
please elaborate?

I'm not sure I understand why automatic reload would be so important
to you, but if I wanted to arrange that for anything I'd set up a cron
job which ran every X minutes and checked the timestamp(s) on any file
which might need to be reloaded.  If it found a timestamp younger than
(for example to avoid race conditions) X+2 minutes old, then run the
reload command and sleep for three minutes.  It can log errors etc. as
well - this is roughly the sort of thing I do with Yara rules.

Would something like that be acceptable?
