Polyfill for [ARIA string reflection](https://wicg.github.io/aom/spec/aria-reflection.html) on Elements.
This is part of the [Accessibility Object Model](https://wicg.github.io/aom/explainer.html) (AOM).

For example:

```js
element.setAttribute('aria-pressed', 'true');
console.log(element.ariaPressed); // true
element.ariaPressed = false;
console.log(element.getAttribute('aria-pressed')); // false
```

Note that the attribute `aria-pressed` is reflected to the property `ariaPressed`, and vice versa.

## Usage

```shell
npm install @kdcloudjs/kwc-aria-reflection
```

```js
import '@kdcloudjs/kwc-aria-reflection';
```

The polyfill is applied globally to `Element.prototype` as soon as the module is imported.

## Implementation

The polyfill patches these [standard](https://w3c.github.io/aria/#ARIAMixin) property/attribute reflections:
