There was a problem hiding this comment.
Optional nit: It'd be nice to have a comment for the next two lines explaining what this is doing.

Exposes the code that we use to infer the tag name of a component as a private export so that we can use it in `TestBed`.

Currently when testing a component using `TestBed.createComponent`, we always create the component as a `div` which isn't aligned with the runtime. The runtime tries to parse out the tag name from the first selector in `@Component` and only falls back to `div` if there isn't one. This behavior difference can cause components to not behave like they would in production which reduces the usefulness of the tests. These changes add the `inferTagName` option to `TestBed.createComponent` and `TestBed.configureTestingModule` that allows apps to opt into inferring the tag name from the selector in the same way as the runtime. Currently the new option is set to `false`, but we intend to change it to `true` in a future version.
