## <paper-menu-button>
`paper-menu-button` allows one to compose a designated "trigger" element with
another element that represents "content", to create a dropdown menu that
displays the "content" when the "trigger" is clicked.
The child element assigned to the `dropdown-trigger` slot will be used as the
"trigger" element. The child element assigned to the `dropdown-content` slot will be
used as the "content" element.
The `paper-menu-button` is sensitive to its content's `iron-select` events. If
the "content" element triggers an `iron-select` event, the `paper-menu-button`
will close automatically.
