I found myself thinking very similar things. At least in Java, one can use a URLClassLoader to point to a jar file to get an entire package that isn't in the classpath (the classpath being a rough equivalent of a mapping). Something like this in CF would be nice (e.g. point to a folder that acts like a mapping for the current request only).
