document.createElement.js

/**
 * document.createElement re-implemented with a fluid interface
 * 
 * Note: This will break lots of stuff. Don't use it.
 * Note: This could be done by altering Element.prototype but that would break even more stuff
 * 
 * Usage example:
 *   document.body.appendChild(
 *     document
 *       .createElement('a')
 *       .setAttribute('href', '#success')
 *       .appendChild(
 *         document.createTextNode('Testing...')
 *       )
 *     )
