A common user configuration error is loading built-in version of a package prior to loading a different version of the same package. For example, when user's store their config in an Org file and use `org-babel-load-file` to load their config which then attempts to activate/load the development version of Org.
use-package could be made to expand so `require-with-check' is used instead of `require' to catch cases like these. This should be customizable on a per-declaration basis, with a defcustom akin to the other use-package-always-* options. The use-package options should allow both signaling an error when the package is already on load-path, or forcefully reloading.
