this is just a simple wrapper around the `Container` widget, but it's
very useful in situations where bare strings are used in a flex layout,
since e.g. a `Row` with multiple children that are all strings won't get
a proper flex layout (since they're not elements)

So instead of writing
```
Row::new()
    .with_child(Container::new().with_child("Text1"))
    .with_child(Container::new().with_child("Text2"))
```

one can now write
```
Row::new()
    .with_child(div!("Text1"))
    .with_child(div!("Text2"))
```

which is much shorter and more readable.

+//! Helper and utility macros to make some often used patterns more ergonomic
+
+/// A macro to wrap some elements or strings in a `<div>`.
+///
+/// Expands to `Container::new().with_child(param1).with_child(param2)...`
+///
+/// Examples:
+/// ```
+/// # use pwt::widget::Container;
+/// # use pwt::div;
+///   // must be used, either directly or via pwt::prelude::*
+///   use pwt::props::ContainerBuilder;
+///
+/// # fn main() {
+///   let div = div!("Some Text");
+/// # drop(div);
+///
+///   // is the same as
+///   let div = Container::new().with_child("Some Text");
+/// # drop(div);
+///
+///   // you can also specify multiple elements
+///   div!("Text1", "Text2");
+///
+///   // or components
+///   div!(Container::new());
+/// # }
+/// ```
