    Extracts and returns the relevant HTML content from an Ajax response. The
    content is extracted using the `contentSelector` attribute as a CSS
    selector. If `contentSelector` is `null`, the entire response will be
    returned.

    The return value is an object containing two properties:

      - **node**: A `Y.Node` instance for a document fragment containing the
        extracted HTML content.

      - **title**: The title of the HTML page, if any, extracted using the
        `titleSelector` attribute (which defaults to looking for a `<title>`
        element). If `titleSelector` is not set or if a title could not be
        found, this property will be `undefined`.

        cached partial page when the user actually requests a full page (or vice
        versa).

        To prevent this, we can add a bogus query parameter to the URL so that
        Pjax URLs will always be cached separately from non-Pjax URLs.
