Description

I've been using `htm` for a while now (it's awesome btw), every once in a while though I switch back from a project using JSX and end up writing `` instead of `<${Avatar} />` or `

` instead of `
`.

It is sometimes hard to spot why something's failing, because it fails quietly, doesn't throw an error or obvious warning. I believe (and please correct me) the library could check for attributes starting with `/^{/` or elements starting with `/^[A-Z]/` and warn the user about their potential error.

Because you're very unlikely to have an element with either of the above, it seems like something that could potentially be enabled by default. Or available by default in a developer build.

There is a little demo showing the error at .

Thoughts?
