DOM sugar
// DOM sugar
// ==================================================================
// Modified version of Neil Jenkins' "Sugared DOM" <https://gist.github.com/3524145>
//
// Usage
// ------------------------------------------------------------------
// var make = domsugar(document);
//
// make( 'p.foo#bar', { hidden: true }, [ make( 'span' ) ] );
// => <p class="foo" id="bar" hidden><span></span></p>
//
// make( '.bar', [ '<b></b>' ] );
// make( '.bar', { text: '<b></b>' } );
// => <div class="bar">&lt;b&gt;&lt/b&gt;</div>
//
// make( 'div', [ make( 'b', [ 'Foo', make( 'i' ) ] ) ] );
// make( 'div', { html: '<b>Foo<i></i></b>' } );
// => <div><b>Foo<i></i></b></div>
//
// var myDiv = document.createElement( 'div' );
// make( myDiv, { id: 'foo' } );
// => <div id="foo"></div>
