Usage
Display
You can display a dimmer by either invoking .dimmer('show') on a section or a dimmer itself. If you choose to dim a dimmable section, a dimmer will automatically be created.
Creating Dimmers
If a dimmer does not exist inside the element it will be created on first use.
Showing a Specific Dimmer
If a dimmer is already inside an element, you can call behavior on the dimmable section or the dimmer itself.
