/// 'Format' appears under audio, software, writing, and video" -- and a list of

/// It does not carry the **current value**, and it is not going to. That is the
/// one thing here that is genuinely renderer state: a webview reads it back out
/// of the DOM, an immediate-mode renderer holds a `&mut` to the app's own field
/// and writes through it, and a terminal keeps an edit buffer. A description
/// that carried the value would have to carry a way to write it back, at which
/// point it is a form model and no longer a description.
///
/// **Constraints** are here and enforcement is not, which is one line rather
/// than two. [`required`], [`max_length`], [`min`] and [`max`] are facts about
/// the *question*, so a renderer can emit its host's idiom for each — an HTML
/// attribute, a marked label, a clamped spinner — and the platform helps the
/// user before anything is submitted. Deciding that a value is wrong stays with
/// whoever validated, and [`error`] is that decision arriving back.
///
/// The set stops before `pattern`, and stops there on both tests at once. A
/// regex has an honest answer in a webview and none anywhere else: egui would
/// have to run it per keystroke and decide what a half-typed value means,
/// which is enforcement wearing description's clothes. And it is one site in
/// goingson and none in Balanced Breakfast, against 8 and 1 for `maxlength`.
///
/// [`error`]: Field::error
/// [`required`]: Field::required
/// [`max_length`]: Field::max_length
/// [`min`]: Field::min
/// [`max`]: Field::max
/// How a slider's position becomes its value, and how finely it moves.
///
/// **The data of a slider is a fraction and a function taking numbers to
/// numbers.** Stated by Max, and it is what [`min`](Field::min) and
/// [`max`](Field::max) are not: they were never the control's extent.
/// A slider's extent is always 0 to 1 — a thumb at 40% of a track — and the
/// bounds are `f(0)` and `f(1)`. Linear is the constant-slope case, which is
/// exactly why nobody noticed the function was there: when `f` is
/// `min + t * (max - min)` the extent and the bounds coincide numerically and
/// the mapping is invisible.
///
/// So this is not a scale flag bolted onto a range. Every range described
/// before it had a mapping, and four renderers each hard-coded the same one.
///
/// # Why a closed family and not a function
///
/// `fn(f64) -> f64` is the literal reading and it does not survive the
/// description boundary. A fn pointer cannot be emitted into a browser, and it
/// cannot be compared or hashed in a way that means anything, which this struct
/// needs. A named family is the same semantics with arbitrary closures given
/// up, and nothing measured wants one: the tree has a single non-linear shape
/// across five controls and no second shape at all.
///
/// # Why the step is here
///
/// Max, in the same breath: if the family is prescriptive anyway, the step
/// spacing belongs in it. On a slider the granularity and the mapping are one
/// decision — a curve chosen without saying how finely it moves is half an
/// answer — and holding them apart is what let a 0-to-1 threshold ship as a
/// two-position control, since the host default of 1 was applied to a mapping
/// nobody had named. It also un-overloads [`Field::step`], which stays as it
/// was for a *typed* value, where there is no mapping and the granularity is a
/// plain fact about the number.
///
/// A future curve carrying a fact of its own — an exponent, an inflection —
/// puts it in its own variant rather than on the struct, which is the second
/// reason this shape is right.
///
/// **The step is in the value's own units under every curve.** What a curve
/// changes is the mapping, not the units the granularity is measured in: a step
