$this->document->addTimestamp()

OC is missing cache buster abilities. Since TONS of folks now use Cloudflare, and local browser caching is more brute, updating assets turns into a tedious "clear multiple caches" timewaste. This would be a great addition to core. It appends the timestamp string to the end of local assets defined via the document library:

public function addTimestamp($src) {
    $base = str_replace('system', '', DIR_SYSTEM);
    $http = 'http://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . '/';
    $https = 'https://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . '/';
    $httpr = '//' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . '/';

    $file = realpath(str_replace(array($http, $https, $httpr), $base, $src));

    if (file_exists($file)) {
        return $src . '?v=' . filemtime($file);
    }
    return $src;
}

Example use situation, all scripts inserted via document class are now timestamped:

$this->scripts[md5($script)] = $this->addTimestamp($script);

Example use situation, your random mod can inject a timestamped image (or anything):

$data['my_asset_src'] = $this->document->addTimestamp('catalog/view/theme/default/image/my_asset.jpg');

Sorry if this is not the proper channel to share this!
