/**
 * A template literal tag that creates an HTML <template> element from the
 * contents of the string.
 *
 * This allows you to write a Polymer Template in JavaScript.
 *
 * Templates can be composed by interpolating `HTMLTemplateElement`s in
 * expressions in the JavaScript template literal. The nested template's
 * `innerHTML` is included in the containing template.  The only other
 * values allowed in expressions are those returned from `htmlLiteral`
 * which ensures only literal values from JS source ever reach the HTML, to
 * guard against XSS risks.
 *
 * All other values are disallowed in expressions to help prevent XSS
 * attacks; however, `htmlLiteral` can be used to compose static
 * string values into templates. This is useful to compose strings into
 * places that do not accept html, like the css text of a `style`
 * element.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 *     static get template() {
 *       return html`
 *         <style>:host{ content:"..." }</style>
 *         <div class="shadowed">${this.partialTemplate}</div>
 *         ${super.template}
 *       `;
 *     }
 *     static get partialTemplate() { return html`<span>Partial!</span>`; }
 *
 * @returns Constructed HTMLTemplateElement
