I use M-x org-reload regularly when upgrading org-mode (instead of
restarting Emacs).
org-reload is great for moving forwards in the org-mode git history (to
newer commits) without restarting Emacs. It's when you go backwards
(removing new functionality and definitions) that things get a bit
hairy since your current emacs lisp environment will have a mixture of
new and old definitions.
org-reload now just gets a list of files and loads them sequentially.
The function could probably be enhanced to check the status of the load
function call and doing something useful when it fails -- but that needs
to be thought out. Carsten originally wrote this function and he may
have more thoughts about this.
