/**
 * This is a temporary <input> element. The intended usage is to create is when needed (e.g. when
 * some "rename" option is chosen), and provide methods to save and to close.
 *
 * It calls save() on Enter and on blur, which should return a Promise. On successful save, and on
 * Escape, it calls close(), which should destroy the <input>.
