//
// 	.title			- feature name (string | null)
// 	.doc			- feature description (string | null)
//
// 	.priority		- feature priority
// 					  can be:
// 					  	- 'high' (99) | 'medium' (0) | 'low' (-99)
// 					  	- number
// 					  	- null (0, default)
// 					  features with higher priority will be setup first,
// 					  features with the same priority will be run in 
// 					  order of occurrence.
// 	.suggested		- list of optional suggested features, these are not 
// 					  required but setup if available.
// 					  This is useful for defining meta features but 
// 					  without making each sub-feature a strict dependency.
// 	.depends		- feature dependencies -- tags of features that must 
// 					  setup before the feature (list | null)
// 					  NOTE: a feature can depend on an exclusive tag, 
// 					  		this will remove the need to track which 
// 					  		specific exclusive tagged feature is loaded...
// 	.exclusive		- feature exclusivity tags (list | null)
// 					  an exclusivity group enforces that only one feature
// 					  in it will be run, i.e. the first / highest priority.
//
// 	.actions		- action object containing feature actions (ActionSet | null)
// 					  this will be mixed into the base object on .setup()
// 					  and mixed out on .remove()
// 	.config			- feature configuration, will be merged with base 
// 					  object's .config
// 					  NOTE: the final .config is an empty object with
// 					  		.__proto__ set to the merged configuration
// 					  		data...
