/**
 * Use the `Announcer` element to create a visually hidden ARIA live region
 * that announces content changes to screen readers. Use this element when you
 * need to announce changes to screen readers that something has changed. If changed
 * element is visible on the page, add the appropriate ARIA live attribute to the
 * visible element instead of using this announcer.
 *
 * It's recommended to create this element with JavaScript using the `Announcer.init` method,
 * then you can reuse the same announcer throughout the application to
 * [avoid duplicate regions](https://www.sarasoueidan.com/blog/accessible-notifications-with-aria-live-regions-part-2/#limit-the-number-of-live-regions-on-the-page)
 * (see below).
 *
 * ### Attributes
 *
 * `aria-live`
 *
 * By default, the announcer is created with the
 * [`polite` ARIA live attribute](https://www.sarasoueidan.com/blog/accessible-notifications-with-aria-live-regions-part-1/#1.-using-the-aria-live-attribute).
 *
 * @example
 *
 * ```ts
 * import { Announcer } from "drab/announcer";
 *
 * // creates and appends a new announcer to the body element
 * const announcer = Announcer.init();
 *
 * // create announcement
 * announcer.announce("message");
 * ```
 *
 * > The `Base` element creates a single `Announcer` to share between all elements
 * > that can be accessed through `this.announce`. If you are using one of drab's other
 * > elements you can call `announce` directly on the element to announce changes.
