+ * Sometimes, we want to provide best DX (direct slottables) and be accessible
+ * at the same time.
+ * In the first example below, we need to wrap our options in light dom in an element with
+ * [role=listbox]. We could achieve this via the second example, but it would affect our
+ * public api negatively. not allowing us to be forward compatible with the AOM spec:
+ * https://wicg.github.io/aom/explainer.html
+ * With this method, it's possible to watch elements in the default slot and move them
+ * to the desired target (the element with [role=listbox]) in light dom.
+ *
+ * @example
+ * # desired api
+ * <sel-ect>
+ *  <opt-ion></opt-ion>
+ * </sel-ect>
+ * # desired end state
+ * <sel-ect>
+ *  <div role="listbox" slot="lisbox">
+ *    <opt-ion></opt-ion>
+ *  </div>
+ * </sel-ect>
+ * @param {HTMLElement} source host of ShadowRoot with default <slot>
+ * @param {HTMLElement} target the desired target in light dom
