What is the use case for destroying and re-creating an AngularJS Material app without a page reload? Is this related to ngUpgrade?

We do have some memory leaks in input and dialog:

• https://github.com/angular/material/issues/10851
• https://github.com/angular/material/issues/11207

But your demo seems to only be using md-button. It injects $mdDialog but doesn't use it.

I've converted the JSFiddle to a CodePen for easier debugging.
