There's nothing magic about the load-dir.  It's a list of directory
names, just like the load path.  Any .el files in those directories get
loaded on startup and when the user requests it explicitly.

There may be some extra rules to do with .elc files and recursion, but
both the idea and the implementation fit in a paragraph and are so
simple that calling them "magic" is misleading.
