Shiny interactions

Running the two button example on the README works great! Very cool / clean to see how it works with custom tags and how you leverage the Lit classes.

I worry that the feature of allowing for two elements of the same name being able to send values back to shiny is more of a bug than a feature. For example: Using bookmarks. Let's say the bookmark data has btn=4...

  • Which btn will restore the value? How will it restore the value?
  • What if the other btn had a value of 7 while the first button had a value of 4?
  • Will all other btn values be set back to 0?

This idea extends to {shinytest}. {shinytest} will not be able to set any input values via an InputBinding. Currently, testing on a {litter} component will only be able to set an input with the allowInputNoBinding = TRUE flag set. Ex:

app$setInputs(btn = 4, allowInputNoBinding_ = TRUE)

I agree with @etiennebacher on the name association. My first thought was not a puppy litter. Maybe {litr}? It would be pronounced the same and tie closer to Lit?
