Difference to bevy_assets_loader
--------------------------------

`bevy_assets_extensions` is heavily inspired by [bevy_asset_loader](https://github.com/NiklasEi/bevy_asset_loader). The main limitation of `bevy_asset_loader` is that it defines collection as bevy `Resource`, which allow only one collection of a given type to be loaded at a given time. This works fine for games with a static structure, but it fails to scale to game with larger world needing a more dynamic structure. In `bevy_assets_extensions`, bundles are defines as `Asset` which allow multiple variant of the same collection to be loaded.
