+/*
+ * Dependency Tree Cache
+ * 
+ * Allows a build to pre-populate a dependency trace tree on the loader of 
+ * the expected dependency tree, to be loaded upfront when requesting the
+ * module, avoinding the n round trips latency of module loading, where 
+ * n is the dependency tree depth.
+ *
+ * eg:
+ * SystemJS.depCache = {
+ *  'app': ['normalized', 'deps'],
+ *  'normalized': ['another'],
+ *  'deps': ['tree']
+ * };
+ * 
+ * SystemJS.import('app') 
+ * // simultaneously starts loading all of:
+ * // 'normalized', 'deps', 'another', 'tree'
+ * // before "app" source is even loaded
+ *
