This code as-is obviously works :) But for future robustness -- would it be easier to add an option `enterSubmits: boolean` that decides whether to add this submit-on-press-Enter behavior?

I'm really not a fan of misusing `variable` in this context. After talking to @schanzer , we are trying out "name" instead, in contexts that rephrase the sentences slightly to...
