    /**
     * @short Responsible for handling requests for opening files and node collections.
     *
     * ResourceLoader is a callback used for opening files, requested
     * via the functions <tt>fn:document()</tt> and <tt>fn:unparsed-text()</tt>;
     * and node collections, requested via <tt>fn:collection()</tt>. Patternist uses the
     * ResourceLoader at compile time,
     * via StaticContext::resourceLoader(), and at runtime, via DynamicContext::resourceLoader().
     *
     * The ResourceLoader takes care of loading "external resources" in a way specific to the data
     * model Patternist is using. For example, perhaps the opening of documents should pass
     * a security policy, or a collection should map to nodes in a virtual filesystem or a database.
     *
     * From Patternist's perspective, the ResourceLoader provides two things:
     *
     * - At compile time, it calls announceDocument(), announceCollection() and announceUnparsedText()
     *   if it knows the URIs at compile time in order to retrieve the static types of the data the URIs
     *   maps to. This is used for more efficiently compiling the query and to better report errors
     *   at compile time.
     * - To open document and node collections at runtime.
     *
     * From the user's or the data model's perspective, the ResourceLoader most notably provides
     * a hint to what resources a query will load at runtime, and therefore provides an opportunity
     * to prepare in advance for that. For example, between the compile and runtime stage,
     * the ResourceLoader sub-class can be asked to pre-load documents in an asynchronous
     * and simultaneous way, such that the runtime stage is faster and doesn't
     * freeze a graphical interface.
     *
     * The announce functions are not guaranteed to be called. The loading functions can be called
     * with an URI that an announce function hasn't been called with.
     *
     * The default implementations of ResourceLoader's virtual functions all signals that no
     * resources can be loaded. This means ResourceLoader must be sub-classed, in order to
     * be able to load resources.
     *
