Nothing within squid today, and unlikely unless someone contributes or
sponsors it.

if you research into this, be sure to accomodate:
handling /large/ objects that the user never requests.
handling the meta-data headers to ensure the pre-fetched object is
compatible with the Vary: instructions issued by the server.
handling the link saturation that will likely be caused.
dealing with synthetic URL's (such as created by javascript).

Cheers,
Rob
