Sample usage:

var loader = new ScriptLoader();
loader.load([
    '//code.jquery.com/jquery-2.1.4.min.js',
    '//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/knockout/3.4.0/knockout-min.js',
    '//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/dropbox.js/0.10.3/dropbox.min.js'
]).then(function (scriptElements) {
    console.log(scriptElements.length + ' Scripts Loaded!');
    loader.load([
        '//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.6/js/bootstrap.min.js',
        'app.js'
    ]);
});

Nice, but how to prevent same script from loading multiple times?
