This enum represents the different values for the `accessible-role` property, used to describe the
role of an element in the context of assistive technology such as screen readers.
In addition to widget roles, this enum includes *landmark* roles (`banner`, `complementary`,
`content-info`, `form`, `main`, `navigation`, `region`, `search`).
Landmarks identify large content areas that screen reader users can jump between,
giving the application a navigable structure similar to headings in a document.
See [WAI-ARIA Landmark Regions](https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/practices/landmark-regions/)
for guidance on when and how to use them.
