+/**
+ * @desc OverlayController is the fundament for every single type of overlay. With the right
+ * configuration, it can be used to build (modal) dialogs, tooltips, dropdowns, popovers,
+ * bottom/top/left/right sheets etc.
+ *
+ * ### About contentNode, contentWrapperNode and renderTarget.
+ *
+ * #### contentNode
+ * Node containing actual overlay contents.
+ * It will not be touched by the OverlayController, it will only set attributes needed
+ * for accessibility.
+ *
+ * #### contentWrapperNode
+ * The 'positioning' element.
+ * For local overlays, this node will be provided to Popper and all
+ * inline positioning styles will be added here. It will also act as the container of an arrow
+ * element (the arrow needs to be a sibling of contentNode for Popper to work correctly).
+ * When projecting a contentNode from a shadowRoot, it is essential to have the wrapper in
+ * shadow dom, so that contentNode can be styled via `::slotted` from the shadow root.
+ * The Popper arrow can then be styled from that same shadow root as well.
+ * For global overlays, the contentWrapperNode will be appended to the globalRootNode structure.
+ *
+ * #### renderTarget
+ * Usually the parent node of contentWrapperNode that either exists locally or globally.
+ * When a responsive scenario is created (in which we switch from global to local or vice versa)
+ * we need to know where we should reappend contentWrapperNode (or contentNode in case it's projected)
+ *
+ * So a regular flow can be summarized as follows:
+ * 1. Application Developer spawns an OverlayController with a contentNode reference
+ * 2. OverlayController will create a contentWrapperNode around contentNode (or consumes when provided)
+ * 3. contentWrapperNode will be appended to the right renderTarget
+ *
+ * There are subtle differences depending on the following factors:
+ * - whether in global/local placement mode
+ * - whether contentNode projected
+ * - whether an arrow is provided
+ *
+ * This leads to the following possible combinations:
+ * - [l1]. local + no content projection + no arrow
+ * - [l2]. local +    content projection + no arrow
+ * - [l3]. local + no content projection +    arrow
+ * - [l4]. local +    content projection +    arrow
+ * - [g1]. global
+ *
+ * #### html structure for a content projected node
+ * <div id="contentWrapperNode">
+ *  <slot name="contentNode"></slot>
+ *  <div x-arrow></div>
+ * </div>
+ *
+ * Structure above depicts [l4]
+ * So in case of [l1] and [l3], the <slot> element would be a regular element
+ * In case of [l1] and [l2], there would be no arrow.
+ * Note that a contentWrapperNode should be provided for [l2], [l3] and [l4]
+ * In case of a global overlay ([g1]), it's enough to provide just the contentNode.
+ * In case of a local overlay or a responsive overlay switching from placementMode, one should
+ * always configure as if it was a local overlay.
