/**
 * @ngdoc directive
 * @name ngOptions
 * @restrict A
 *
 * @description
 *
 * The `ngOptions` attribute can be used to dynamically generate a list of `<option>`
 * elements for the `<select>` element using the array or object obtained by evaluating the
 * `ngOptions` comprehension expression.
 *
 * In many cases, `ngRepeat` can be used on `<option>` elements instead of `ngOptions` to achieve a
 * similar result. However, `ngOptions` provides some benefits such as reducing memory and
 * increasing speed by not creating a new scope for each repeated instance, as well as providing
 * more flexibility in how the `<select>`'s model is assigned via the `select` **`as`** part of the
 * comprehension expression. `ngOptions` should be used when the `<select>` model needs to be bound
 *  to a non-string value. This is because an option element can only be bound to string values at
 * present.
 *
 * When an item in the `<select>` menu is selected, the array element or object property
 * represented by the selected option will be bound to the model identified by the `ngModel`
 * directive.
 *
 * Optionally, a single hard-coded `<option>` element, with the value set to an empty string, can
 * be nested into the `<select>` element. This element will then represent the `null` or "not selected"
 * option. See example below for demonstration.
 *
 * ## Complex Models (objects or collections)
 *
 * By default, `ngModel` watches the model by reference, not value. This is important to know when
 * binding the select to a model that is an object or a collection.
 *
 * One issue occurs if you want to preselect an option. For example, if you set
 * the model to an object that is equal to an object in your collection, `ngOptions` won't be able to set the selection,
 * because the objects are not identical. So by default, you should always reference the item in your collection
 * for preselections, e.g.: `$scope.selected = $scope.collection[3]`.
 *
 * Another solution is to use a `track by` clause, because then `ngOptions` will track the identity
 * of the item not by reference, but by the result of the `track by` expression. For example, if your
 * collection items have an id property, you would `track by item.id`.
 *
 * A different issue with objects or collections is that ngModel won't detect if an object property or
 * a collection item changes. For that reason, `ngOptions` additionally watches the model using
 * `$watchCollection`, when the expression contains a `track by` clause or the the select has the `multiple` attribute.
 * This allows ngOptions to trigger a re-rendering of the options even if the actual object/collection
 * has not changed identity, but only a property on the object or an item in the collection changes.
 *
 * Note that `$watchCollection` does a shallow comparison of the properties of the object (or the items in the collection
 * if the model is an array). This means that changing a property deeper than the first level inside the
 * object/collection will not trigger a re-rendering.
 *
 * ## `select` **`as`**
 *
 * Using `select` **`as`** will bind the result of the `select` expression to the model, but
 * the value of the `<select>` and `<option>` html elements will be either the index (for array data sources)
 * or property name (for object data sources) of the value within the collection. If a **`track by`** expression
 * is used, the result of that expression will be set as the value of the `option` and `select` elements.
 *
 *
 * ### `select` **`as`** and **`track by`**
 *
 * <div class="alert alert-warning">
 * Be careful when using `select` **`as`** and **`track by`** in the same expression.
 * </div>
 *
 * Given this array of items on the $scope:
 *
 * ```js
 * $scope.items = [{
 *   id: 1,
 *   label: 'aLabel',
 *   subItem: { name: 'aSubItem' }
 * }, {
 *   id: 2,
 *   label: 'bLabel',
 *   subItem: { name: 'bSubItem' }
 * }];
 * ```
 *
 * This will work:
 *
 * ```html
 * <select ng-options="item as item.label for item in items track by item.id" ng-model="selected"></select>
 * ```
 * ```js
 * $scope.selected = $scope.items[0];
 * ```
 *
 * but this will not work:
 *
 * ```html
 * <select ng-options="item.subItem as item.label for item in items track by item.id" ng-model="selected"></select>
 * ```
 * ```js
 * $scope.selected = $scope.items[0].subItem;
 * ```
 *
 * In both examples, the **`track by`** expression is applied successfully to each `item` in the
 * `items` array. Because the selected option has been set programmatically in the controller, the
 * **`track by`** expression is also applied to the `ngModel` value. In the first example, the
 * `ngModel` value is `items[0]` and the **`track by`** expression evaluates to `items[0].id` with
 * no issue. In the second example, the `ngModel` value is `items[0].subItem` and the **`track by`**
 * expression evaluates to `items[0].subItem.id` (which is undefined). As a result, the model value
 * is not matched against any `<option>` and the `<select>` appears as having no selected value.
 *
 *
 * @param {string} ngModel Assignable angular expression to data-bind to.
 * @param {string=} name Property name of the form under which the control is published.
 * @param {string=} required The control is considered valid only if value is entered.
 * @param {string=} ngRequired Adds `required` attribute and `required` validation constraint to
 *    the element when the ngRequired expression evaluates to true. Use `ngRequired` instead of
 *    `required` when you want to data-bind to the `required` attribute.
 * @param {comprehension_expression=} ngOptions in one of the following forms:
 *
 *   * for array data sources:
 *     * `label` **`for`** `value` **`in`** `array`
 *     * `select` **`as`** `label` **`for`** `value` **`in`** `array`
 *     * `label` **`group by`** `group` **`for`** `value` **`in`** `array`
 *     * `label` **`disable when`** `disable` **`for`** `value` **`in`** `array`
 *     * `label` **`group by`** `group` **`for`** `value` **`in`** `array` **`track by`** `trackexpr`
 *     * `label` **`disable when`** `disable` **`for`** `value` **`in`** `array` **`track by`** `trackexpr`
 *     * `label` **`for`** `value` **`in`** `array` | orderBy:`orderexpr` **`track by`** `trackexpr`
 *        (for including a filter with `track by`)
 *   * for object data sources:
 *     * `label` **`for (`**`key` **`,`** `value`**`) in`** `object`
 *     * `select` **`as`** `label` **`for (`**`key` **`,`** `value`**`) in`** `object`
 *     * `label` **`group by`** `group` **`for (`**`key`**`,`** `value`**`) in`** `object`
 *     * `label` **`disable when`** `disable` **`for (`**`key`**`,`** `value`**`) in`** `object`
 *     * `select` **`as`** `label` **`group by`** `group`
 *         **`for` `(`**`key`**`,`** `value`**`) in`** `object`
 *     * `select` **`as`** `label` **`disable when`** `disable`
 *         **`for` `(`**`key`**`,`** `value`**`) in`** `object`
 *
 * Where:
 *
 *   * `array` / `object`: an expression which evaluates to an array / object to iterate over.
 *   * `value`: local variable which will refer to each item in the `array` or each property value
 *      of `object` during iteration.
 *   * `key`: local variable which will refer to a property name in `object` during iteration.
 *   * `label`: The result of this expression will be the label for `<option>` element. The
 *     `expression` will most likely refer to the `value` variable (e.g. `value.propertyName`).
 *   * `select`: The result of this expression will be bound to the model of the parent `<select>`
 *      element. If not specified, `select` expression will default to `value`.
 *   * `group`: The result of this expression will be used to group options using the `<optgroup>`
 *      DOM element.
 *   * `disable`: The result of this expression will be used to disable the rendered `<option>`
 *      element. Return `true` to disable.
 *   * `trackexpr`: Used when working with an array of objects. The result of this expression will be
 *      used to identify the objects in the array. The `trackexpr` will most likely refer to the
 *     `value` variable (e.g. `value.propertyName`). With this the selection is preserved
 *      even when the options are recreated (e.g. reloaded from the server).
