Does jQuery $(document).ready ALWAYS wait for async scripts?

I was wondering if jQuery's $(document).ready() function is always waiting also for asynchronously loaded scripts:

HTML

<script async src="...">

JavaScript

$(document).ready(function(){
   //is the script always loaded at this point?
});

I couldn't find any confirmation of this assumption in the jQuery documentation. Is there a source where this is explicitly regulated?

According to [this](http://stackoverflow.com/q/11043656/464709), `ready()` won't wait for async scripts. – Frédéric Hamidi Jun 24 '14 at 14:26
This will wait, i think $(document).ajaxSuccess(function(){}); – Mark Jun 24 '14 at 14:28

@FrédéricHamidi I'm soooo sorry for this, I didn't see it.. You want that i remove my comment ? – Superdrac Jun 24 '14 at 14:30
@Superdrac, that's your call. Twice the same information is still better than no information at all :) – Frédéric Hamidi Jun 24 '14 at 14:31
