 * Uses the [actor's](https://serenity-js.org/api/core/class/Actor/) [ability](https://serenity-js.org/api/core/class/Ability/) to [`BrowseTheWeb`](https://serenity-js.org/api/web/class/BrowseTheWeb/) to retrieve
 * the `value` attribute of a given [`PageElement`](https://serenity-js.org/api/web/class/PageElement/).
 *
 * ## Example widget
 * ```html
 * <input type="text" id="username" value="Alice" />
 * ```
 *
 * ## Retrieve the `value` of a given [`PageElement`](https://serenity-js.org/api/web/class/PageElement/)
 *
 * ```ts
 * import { actorCalled } from '@serenity-js/core'
 * import { Ensure, equals } from '@serenity-js/assertions'
 * import { By, PageElement, Value } from '@serenity-js/web'
 *
 * const usernameField = () =>
 *   PageElement.located(By.id('username'))
 *     .describedAs('username field')
 *
 * await actorCalled('Lisa')
 *   .attemptsTo(
 *     Ensure.that(Value.of(usernameField), equals('Alice')),
 *   )
 * ```
 *
 * ## Using Value as [`QuestionAdapter`](https://serenity-js.org/api/core/#QuestionAdapter)
 *
 * ```ts
 * import { actorCalled } from '@serenity-js/core'
 * import { Ensure, equals } from '@serenity-js/assertions'
 * import { By, PageElement, Value } from '@serenity-js/web'
 *
 * const usernameField = () =>
 *   PageElement.located(By.id('username'))
 *     .describedAs('username field')
 *
 * await actorCalled('Lisa')
 *   .attemptsTo(
 *     Ensure.that(
 *       Value.of(usernameField).toLocaleLowerCase()[0],
 *       equals('a')  // [a]lice
 *     ),
 *   )
 * ```
