+Loads a module after removing it from the cache (if exists).
+
+Use `delete` to remove the module from the cache (if exists).
+Use `require()` to load the module again.
+
+```js
+const requireUncached = module => {
+  delete require.cache[require.resolve(module)];
+  return require(module);
+};
+```
+
+```js
+const fs = requireUncached('fs'); // 'fs' will be loaded fresh every time
+```
