+ * Controls passing of props from the React component to the HTML element
+ *
+ * Sometimes it is useful to have a mechanism to pass props from the React component to a rendered HTML element.
+ * It enables making the component interactive and it helps to improve its accessibility. However some props should
+ * never be passed to the HTML element as it would break things. This function is used to filter out such props.
+ *
+ * When run in development mode the function will log error to the console if any invalid props are passed.
+ *
+ * @param props The props that were passed tot he React component
+ * @returns The props to be passed to the HTML element
