## Description

This plugin uses the wp_print_scripts action hook, as opposed to output buffering
and regex used by alternative implementations.

The downside of this method is that only scripts loaded via wp_enqueue_script will
be affected by the plugin, the upside is better
 performance by avoiding output 
buffering on every page load.

The plugin will preserve any localizations added via wp_localize_script, and uses
the first parameter passed to wp_enqueue_script
 as the label for the script in 
the head.js call. For example,

    ```
    wp_enqueue_script('jquery', 'https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js');
    ```

would show up as

    ```
    head.js({"jquery": "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.7.1/jquery.min.js"});
    ```

This allows you to run callbacks when specific scripts are ready, such as

    ```
    head.ready('jquery', function() {
        //do something when jquery is loaded
    });
    ```
