It's everything we need but perhaps not everything we desire. Last time we
went round with script loading the proposal for high-level dependency
declaration got weighed down by use-cases that should have been left to
lower level primitives. These are the lower level bits, something higher
level is still possible. For legacy-free project, modules + promises for
non-script assets are the answer.

I updated my examples to deal with no guarantees of script order. A couple
of forEachs were turned to reduces, that was it.
