 When calling `wp.template()` in JS, if the template element does not exist
 (maybe you forgot to wait for `document.ready`) a very cryptic error
 happens ("Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'replace' of
 undefined"). I'm not totally familiar with how defensive we typically are
 for things like this - but in this case it would have saved me a good deal
 of effort if I saw a descriptive error.
