     * several times while varying the {@code readyState} property: in theory,
     * {@code "complete"} means the content is loaded, parsed and ready to be
     * used, but in practice, {@code "complete"} happens when the JS file was
     * already cached, and {@code "loaded"} happens when it was transferred over
     * the network. Other browsers just call the {@code onload} event handler. To
     * ensure the callback will be called at most once, we clear out both event
     * handlers when the callback runs for the first time. More info at the <a
     * href="http://www.phpied.com/javascript-include-ready-onload/">phpied.com
     * blog</a>.
     * <p>
     * In IE, do not trust the "order" of {@code readyState} values. For instance,
     * in IE 8 running in Vista, if the JS file is cached, only {@code "complete"}
     * will happen, but if the file has to be downloaded, {@code "loaded"} can
     * fire in parallel with {@code "loading"}.
