Kept hitting a mental block while trying to work on a prototype 
for this, so thought I'd just diagram it out instead and quickly 
make a video going over an idea for this [1]

I kinda wanted to use an existing solution, but they're either 
not-free, or aren't overly flexible when it comes to storing raw 
artifacts (because most of them seem designed to handle existing 
package manager formats, which Dub of course won't be included 
in).

Thankfully the basic idea of an artifact repository is pretty 
straightforward, as long as it's _only_ for storing artifacts, 
and doesn't handle dependencies or relationships itself (e.g. 
could be offloaded onto dub).

Realistically this is something that needs to be properly scoped 
out though.
