Adopt hyperscript for html literals? #94
Description
Our html tagged template literal could be better. For example, it could support event listeners, style objects, and automatic escaping of text. And maybe we might also want a mechanism to do efficient updates, too.
There’s a lot of related open-source work in this area, to boot, particularly around hyperscript. Here’s a proof of concept, but there are lots of other libraries to consider (see the awesome-hyperscript list):

The hard part here is that we can’t do this in a backwards-compatible way. So either we’ll need to introduce standard library versioning (which fortunately is easy relative to runtime versioning), or we’ll need to choose a new name, e.g. htm (but that won’t work for svg obviously). Either way it’s a bit tricky to change the behavior of a core standard library component.
