+ * This viewer application is for rendering a docx onto an HTML document. To get a smooth UI, the whole
+ * flow is broken down to these steps:
+ * 1) show a loading spinner => `... = createLoader($page);`
+ * 2) fetch the docx file    => effect(ajax({ xxxx })).pipe(
+ * 3) remove the spinner     =>    cancelLoader,
+ * 4) render + transition    =>    ... renderDocx ...
+ * 5) fallback on error      =>    ... catchError ... ctrlDownloader(...)
+ *
+ * note: you don't have to use rxjs if you don't like it, the same code could be written with plain
+ *    promises instead. We just happen to be rxjs fanboys who enjoy the automatic resource cleanup it
+ *    enforces. In this example, if the user navigates away before the docx is loaded, the ajax call
+ *    is cancelled automatically. Additionally, we prefer thinking in terms of streams rather than
+ *    the classical state management approach used by most frameworks.
