Shadow DOM polyfill can't wrap accessors directly on document, so that's
why `document.activeElement` doesn't work. Things like `document.head` have
the same problem, see [1]. The usual answer is to introduce a querySelector
or some other method call, which kicks in the polyfill. Or you can call:

ShadowDOMPolyfill.wrap(document.activeElement)


Calling that method from Dart would involve JS interop. I'm not an expert
there, but maybe something like:

// might need a `new JsObject.fromBrowserObject()` around the method arg,
not sure

context['ShadowDOMPolyfill'].callMethod('wrap', [document.activeElement]);
