-    Completely experimental: load Disqus on demand only. Purpose is to avoid
-    connecting to Disqus' servers, unless the user explicitly asks for the
-    comments to be loaded.
-    Works with following filters:
-    ||disqus.com/forums/*embed.js$script,redirect=disqus.com/forums/*embed.js
-    ||disqus.com/embed.js$script,redirect=disqus.com/embed.js
-    ||disqus.com/count.js$script
-    @@||disqus.com/embed.js?_=1457540*$script
-    If you want a site you regularly visit to always have the comment loaded,
-    just use an exception static filter. Example for wired.com:
-    @@||wired.disqus.com/embed.js
