+Selecting a class from the dropdown loads it **immediately**, the

+synchronous everywhere, since the `InputEvent.inputType` flags a
+datalist replacement as `"insertReplacementText"` in Chromium / WebKit
+or `undefined` in Firefox — keyboard typing always carries a typing
+`inputType`.) If the live blocks differ from the previously loaded

+through a `window.confirm`; declining reverts the name field and
