Usage of <!--dark:matter-->

[einar-hjortdal]

I have noticed Dark renders <!--dark:matter--> whenever a component returns null, is this used by anything?
I only see tests that check for the existence of these comments

Sorry, I won't be able to work on the project for a while because I have problems with my eye health. 😢

Take care, I wish you a speedy recovery

This comment is necessary to ensure that the component always reserves at least 1 real DOM element. This is necessary for conditional rendering to work. However, as far as I found out while designing the architecture, it is possible to get by without actually inserting this comment into the DOM. I'll probably try to do this in the future, but this task is not a priority.
