#### requireAsync~load - A promisified function that accepts a moduleId as an argument and returns a promise resolving in an object with a toString method such as a Buffer or a String.()
load is used by async-require to load the script. By default it load a file relative to the calling module
similar to how require works when loading module not installed through npm. Since this function is public you can
set a new load method.
Kind: inner method of requireAsync
Access: public
Example
load a script with request
`js
var asyncRequire = require('async-require'),
request = require('request'),
Promise = require('promise'),
//load must return a promise
get = Promise.promisify(request.get);
//overwrite the default load
asyncRequire.load = function(url){
//get the script
return get(url).spread(function(res, body){
//returrn only the body of the script
return body;
})
}
