* @description
* A directive is an XML attribute that you can use in an existing HTML
* element type or in a DOM element type that you create using
* `angular.widget`, to modify that element's properties. You can use
* any number of directives per element.
* A directive is an HTML attribute that you can use in an existing HTML element type or in a
* DOM element type that you create as {@link angular.widget}, to modify that element's
* properties. You can use any number of directives per element.
*
* For example, you can add the ng:bind directive as an attribute of an
* HTML span element, as in `<span ng:bind="1+2"></span>`.
* How does this work? The compiler passes the attribute value `1+2`
* to the ng:bind extension, which in turn tells the Scope to watch
* that expression and report changes. On any change it sets the span
* text to the expression value.

* ## Directive vs. Attribute Widget
* Both attribute widgets and directives can compile a DOM element
* attribute. So why have two different ways to do the same thing?
* The answer is that order matters, but you have no control over
* the order in which attributes are read. To solve this we
* apply attribute widget before the directive.

<ul ng:init="people=['mike', 'mary']">
<li ng:repeat="person in people" ng:init="a=a+1" ng:bind="person"></li>
</ul>
* </pre>
*
* Notice that the order of execution matters here. We need to
* execute ng:repeat before we run the `ng:init` and `ng:bind`
* on the `<li/>;`. This is because we want to run the
* `ng:init="a=a+1` and `ng:bind="person"` once for each
* person in people. We could not have used directive to
* create this template because attributes are read in an
* unspecified order and there is no way of guaranteeing
* that the repeater attribute would execute first. Using
* the `ng:repeat` attribute directive ensures that we can
* transform the DOM element into a template.
*
* Widgets run before directives. Widgets are expected to
* manipulate the DOM whereas directives are not expected

* This section explains how to bootstrap your application to

* ## The bootstrap code
* Note that there are two versions of the bootstrap code that you can use:
*
* * `angular-x.x.x.js` - this file is unobfuscated, uncompressed, and thus
* human-readable. Note that despite the name of the file, there is
* no additional functionality built in to help you debug your
* application; it has the prefix debug because you can read
* the source code.
* * `angular-x.x.x.min.js` - this is a compressed and obfuscated version
* of `angular-x.x.x.js`. You might want to use this version if you
* want to load a smaller but functionally equivalent version of the
* code in your application. Note: this minified version was created
* using the Closure Compiler.
* * `angular.js` - the development version - this file is unobfuscated, uncompressed, and thus
* human-readable and useful when developing your angular applications.
* * `angular.min.js` - the production version - this is a minified and obfuscated version of
* `angular.js`. You want to use this version when you want to load a smaller but functionally
* equivalent version of the code in your application. We use the Closure compiler to create this

* ## Auto bind using: <tt>ng:autobind</tt>

* ## Auto-bootstrap with `ng:autobind`

* your HTML file that bootstraps the `http://code.angularjs.org/angular-x.x.x.min.js` code and uses
* the special `ng:autobind` attribute, like in this snippet of HTML:
*
* <pre>
&lt;!doctype html&gt;
&lt;html xmlns:ng="http://angularjs.org"&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

* compilation occurs in the page's `onLoad` handler. Note that you don't need to explicitly add an
* `onLoad` event; auto bind mode takes care of all the magic for you.
*
*
* ## Auto-bootstrap with `#autobind`
* In rare cases when you can't define the `ng` namespace before the script tag (e.g. in some CMS
* systems, etc), it is possible to auto-bootstrap angular by appending `#autobind` to the script
* src URL, like in this snippet:
*
* <pre>
&lt;!doctype html&gt;
&lt;html&gt;
&lt;head&gt;
&lt;script type="text/javascript"
src="http://code.angularjs.org/angular-0.9.3.min.js#autobind"&gt;&lt;/script&gt;
&lt;/head&gt;
&lt;body&gt;
&lt;div xmlns:ng="http://angularjs.org"&gt;
Hello {{'world'}}!
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/body&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
* </pre>
*
* In this case it's the `#autobind` URL fragment that tells angular to auto-bootstrap.
*
*
* ## Filename Restrictions for Auto-bootstrap
* In order for us to find the auto-bootstrap script attribute or URL fragment, the value of the
* `script` `src` attribute that loads angular script must match one of these naming
* conventions:
*
* - `angular.js`
* - `angular-min.js`
* - `angular-x.x.x.js`
* - `angular-x.x.x.min.js`
* - `angular-x.x.x-xxxxxxxx.js` (dev snapshot)
* - `angular-x.x.x-xxxxxxxx.min.js` (dev snapshot)
* - `angular-bootstrap.js` (used for development of angular)
*
* Optionally, any of the filename format above can be prepended with relative or absolute URL that
* ends with `/`.
*
*
* ## Manual Bootstrap
* Using auto-bootstrap is a handy way to start using <angular/>, but advanced users who want more
* control over the initialization process might prefer to use manual bootstrap instead.

* process explicitly. Note that the following code is equivalent to
