Load any number of pages via AJAX.
/*
DeepLoad:
Fetch any number of pages via AJAX for infinite scroll-like functionality.
First visit the site you want and put this into your browser console.
ToDo:
0. Determing page structure (where in the url should the page numbers need to be plugged in) from pages where the url doesn't have page structure yet (eg: homepage)
1. User can customize by passing arguments to the "get" function
2. resume a broken DeepLoad. Find if DOM has been modified by a previous DeepLoad run and start resuming from where the previous run left off
3. remove jquery dependency
4. convert it into a bookmarklet
5. make a youtube video tutorial and spread word about DeepLoad around

While ditching jQuery and going native JS is an obvious way to optimize and improve this script, other tips are also welcome.
