Support gulp-load-plugins functionality

pipe-dream handles most use cases of gulp-load-plugins right now. Here's an example from the gulp-if README
var gulpif = require('gulp-if');
var uglify = require('gulp-uglify');
var condition = true; // TODO: add business logic
gulp.task('task', function() {
gulp.src('./src/*.js')
.pipe(gulpif(condition, uglify()))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dist/'));
});
With gulp-load-plugins, it would look like this:
var $ = require('gulp-load-plugins');
var condition = true; // TODO: add business logic
gulp.task('task', function() {
gulp.src('./src/*.js')
.pipe($.if(condition, $.uglify()))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./dist/'));
});
However, with pipe-dream, it should look like this:
var $ = require('pipe-dream');
var condition = true; // TODO: add business logic
gulp.task('task', function() {
$('./src/*.js')
.if(condition, $.uglify())
.dest('./dist/');
});
However, $.uglify is not supported. The easiest idea I can think of is to do what gulp-load-plugins does and load every plugin in the package.json file. However, this doesn't solve the auto-installing issue. I'm not really sure exactly how to do that since it's asynchronous.
