/**
* Safari doesn't support inheriting from HTML tags on web components
* The technique is to:
* create a new web component
* create the desired type inside
* pass all attributes to the child component
* store is at as a widget inside the parent
*
* To use this, you must use the tag name twice, once for creating the class
* and the second time while calling super to pass it to the constructor
