NVM lazy loading script
#!/bin/bash
#
# NVM lazy loading script
#
# NVM takes on average half of a second to load, which is more than whole prezto takes to load.
# This can be noticed when you open a new shell.
# To avoid this, we are creating placeholder function
# for nvm, node, and all the node packages previously installed in the system
# to only load nvm when it is needed.
#
# This code is based on the scripts:
# * https://www.reddit.com/r/node/comments/4tg5jg/lazy_load_nvm_for_faster_shell_start/d5ib9fs
# * http://broken-by.me/lazy-load-nvm/
