		clues.js is a lean-mean-promisified-getter-machine that crunches through any javascript objects, including complex trees, functions, values and promises. Clues consists of a single getter function (just over 100 loc) that dynamically resolves dependency trees and memoizes resolutions (lets call them derived facts) along the way.

		[Prior versions](https://github.com/ZJONSSON/clues/tree/v2) of `clues` were based on internal scaffolding holding separate logic and fact spaces within a `clues` object. Clues 3.x is a major rewrite into a simple superpowered getter function. Clues apis might be backwards compatible - as long as you merge logic and facts into a single facts/logic object and use the new getter function directly for any resolutions
