@ngdoc function
@name angular.module.ng.$anchorScroll
@requires $window
@requires $location
@requires $rootScope

@description
When called, it checks current value of `$location.hash()` and scroll to related element,
according to rules specified in
{@link http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-indicated-part-of-the-document Html5 spec}.

It also watches the `$location.hash()` and scroll whenever it changes to match any anchor.
This can be disabled by calling `$anchorScrollProvider.disableAutoScrolling()`.
