/**
 * Removes or recreates a portion of the DOM tree based on an {expression}.
 *
 * If the expression assigned to `if` evaluates to a false value then the element is removed from the
 * DOM, otherwise a clone of the element is reinserted into the DOM.
 *
 * # Example:
 *
 * ```
 * <div *if="errorCount > 0" class="error">
 *   <!-- Error message displayed when the errorCount property on the current context is greater than 0. -->
 *   {{errorCount}} errors detected
 * </div>
 * ```
 *
 * # Syntax
 *
 * - `<div *if="condition">...</div>`
 * - `<div template="if condition">...</div>`
 * - `<template [if]="condition"><div>...</div></template>`
