This was the product of a long discussion between @wch, @alandipert, @bborgesr
and myself. The conflation of immediate (no throttle/debounce) and non-dedupe
in a single "immediate" flag was deemed unacceptable, because UI controls often
want immediacy but also dedupe. Introducing a second "dedupe" flag would work
but {immediate: false, dedupe: false} doesn't make much sense, and dedupe not
only implies that InputNoResendDecorator should behave differently but also
InputBatchSender (i.e. no deduplication AND no coalescing).
We decided to remove the "immediate" boolean option and replace it with a
string option that would have three possibilities at this time. The only con
to this approach is if anyone is calling onInputChange with immediate:true
today, and I can't imagine anyone is. The immediate flag only has any effect
if the input id that's being set has been put in debounce/throttle mode, and
I don't even think that is documented today, and I'm not even sure it's
possible to do it from custom JS (that's not part of a custom input binding).
