Description
It would be nice to have a method to load the latest version of a dataset that is already loaded, and do so as cheaply as possible. Importantly, the cache should be kept, and the cost of checking for a newer version should be no more than a HEAD request.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the dataset loading and versioning API, then inspect how its cache is maintained and whether a HEAD request can check for updates. Done means a method can cheaply detect and load the latest version while preserving the existing cache.
