Elements
Elements are the core of Pop.Box.
Once pop has been required, you can create Elements and interact with them.
Most elements can be created like this: local box = pop.box(...)
However, if an element's name clashes with a function name used in Pop.Box, you
will have to use pop.create(type, ...) where type is a string naming the
element type. (No standard elements do this.)
When creating an element, the first argument is its parent element. If the first
argument is not an element, it will be treated as the second argument. If it is
false, then an element with no parent will be created.
When no parent is specified, an element's parent is pop.screen, which is the
top-level element of Pop.Box. (This behavior can be modified by custom elements,
so check their documentation.)
