!HTMLSnippet commentStamp!
My sole instance is the registry of html snippets.
`HTMLSnippet current` is the public singleton instance.

On startup, it scans the document for any html elements
with `'data-snippet="foo"'` attribute and takes them off the document,
remembering them in the store under the specified name.
It also install method #foo into HTMLCanvas dynamically.

Every html snippet should mark a 'caret', a place where contents
can be inserted, by 'data-snippet="*"' (a special name for caret).
For example:

`<li data-snippet='menuelement' class='...'><a data-snippet='*'></a></li>`

defines a list element with a link inside; the link itself is marked as a caret.

You can later issue

`html menuelement href: '/foo'; with: 'A foo'`

to insert the whole snippet and directly manipulate the caret, so it renders:

`<li class='...'><a href='/foo'>A foo</a></li>`

For a self-careting tags (not very useful, but you do not need to fill class etc.
you can use

`<div class='lots of classes' attr1='one' attr2='two' data-snippet='*bar'></div>`

and in code later do:

`html bar with: [ xxx ]`

to render

`<div class='lots of classes' attr1='one' attr2='two'>...added by xxx...</div>`!
