/// [`Action`](crate::Action) asks for before it runs, what a sign-up reads, one item of a
/// repeater.
///
/// Derive it with [`FormInput`](derive@crate::FormInput) on a struct of form scalars, or name
/// `()` for a value that asks for nothing.
///
/// An action with input asks for it before it runs: its button opens the input form in a dialog
/// over the page, and its submit runs the action with the parsed value. A refused value renders
/// the form as a page with the field's error, and writes nothing.
///
/// A repeater stores its items in a `#[document]` list, so an item is also a `toasty::Embed`
/// struct. Each row posts the item's keys under its own prefix, and [`write`](Self::write) fills
/// a stored item's row on the edit page.
