+ * ### Default events, extra triggers, and catch-all debounce values
+ *
+ * This example shows the relationship between "default" update events and
+ * additional `updateOn` triggers.
+ *
+ * `default` events are those that are bound to the control, and when fired, update the `$viewValue`
+ * via {@link ngModel.NgModelController#$setViewValue $setViewValue}. Every event that is not listed
+ * in `updateOn` is considered a "default" event, since different control types have different
+ * default events.
+ *
+ * The control in this example updates by "default", "click", and "blur", with different `debounce`
+ * values. You can see that "click" doesn't have an individual `debounce` value -
+ * therefore it uses the `*` debounce value.
+ *
+ * There is also a button that calls {@link ngModel.NgModelController#$setViewValue $setViewValue}
+ * directly with a "custom" event. Since "custom" is not defined in the `updateOn` list,
+ * it is considered a "default" event and will update the
+ * control if "default" is defined in `updateOn`, and will receive the "default" debounce value.
+ * Note that this is just to illustrate how custom controls would possibly call `$setViewValue`.
+ *
+ * You can change the `updateOn` and `debounce` configuration to test different scenarios. This
+ * is done with {@link ngModel.NgModelController#$overrideModelOptions $overrideModelOptions}.
