Adding to the pile of reasons to support extending built-in elements, whether it's `is=""` or some other mechanism.

The Hotwired framework depends on the `turbo-frame` custom element to progressively enhance a webpage. However, using it inside a table fails, for the obvious reason (content model).  I figured it could work as a `<tbody is="...">`. And it does! After abstracting the constructor into an constructor factory, able to extend any built-in as a customized built-in, we found it works great. Except in Safari of course where it doesn't work at all.
