Currently, we only have flags for loading after another mod or whenever the load order feels like it. I'd like a way to specify loading before another mod. This fixes the issue of mods using 'zz' in their mod name just to load after other mods, but it requires those mods to use lazy dependencies to work. I specifically envision this for library mods or mods that do things automatically and a mod needs that mod loaded, but needs to load first, but would naturally load after even with lazy dependencies. As for what symbol to use, I think maybe ^ but that's pretty arbitrary and can be basically anything.
