This lets us avoid having a global ``converse`` API object (accessible via
``windows.converse``), and instead we can get hold of the converse API via
angular.js dependency injection, when we specify it as a dependency for our
angular's dependency injection, when we specify it as a dependency for our
angular components.

You might have noticed the ``load()`` method being called on the ``converse``
You might have noticed the ``waitUntilLoaded()`` method being called on the ``converse``
service. This is a special method added to the service (see the implementation
example above) that makes sure that converse.js is loaded and available. It
returns a jQuery promise which resolves once converse.js is available.
