 * Creates and binds a control group to a DOM element.

 * This directive can only be used as a child of {@link NgForm} or {@link NgFormModel}.
 *
 * # Example
 *
 * In this example, we create the credentials and personal control groups.
 * We can work with each group separately: check its validity, get its value, listen to its changes.
 *
 *  ```
