+ * @ngdoc method
+ * @name $injector#loadNewModules
+ *
+ * @description
+ *
+ * **This is a dangerous API, which you use at your own risk!**
+ *
+ * Add the specified modules to the current injector.
+ *
+ * This method will add each of the injectables to the injector and execute all of the config and run
+ * blocks for each module passed to the method.
+ *
+ * If a module has already been loaded into the injector then it will not be loaded again.
+ *
+ * * The application developer is responsible for loading the code containing the modules; and for
+ * ensuring that lazy scripts are not downloaded and executed more often that desired.
+ * * Previously compiled HTML will not be affected by newly loaded directives, filters and components.
+ * * Modules cannot be unloaded.
+ *
+ * You can use {@link $injector#modules `$injector.modules`} to check whether a module has been loaded
+ * into the injector, which may indicate whether the script has been executed already.
+ *
+ * ## Example
+ *
+ * Here is an example of loading a bundle of modules, with a utility method called `getScript`:
+ *
+ * ```javascript
+ * app.factory('loadModule', function($injector) {
+ *   return function loadModule(moduleName, bundleUrl) {
+ *     return getScript(bundleUrl).then(function() { $injector.loadNewModules([moduleName]); });
+ *   };
+ * })
+ * ```
+ *
+ * @param {Array<String|Function|Array>=} mods an array of modules to load into the application.
+ *     Each item in the array should be the name of a predefined module or a (DI annotated)
+ *     function that will be invoked by the injector as a `config` block.
+ *     See: {@link angular.module modules}
+ */
