React: Feature Request: <input type="textarea" .../>

[JasonWoof]

I'm delighted that you made it so <textarea> can take value= and defaultValue=... but what I really want is <input type="textarea">.

That would make this use case more fun:

<input type={field.type} ...

No explanation necessary if you decide not to implement this. I've already made a wrapper class to solve my problem at hand.

I think React follow the HTML spec. regarding the input types.
https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/input.html#attr-input-type

There is no such thing as <input type="textarea"

As I pointed out in my original request, <textarea> doesn't follow the HTML spec, instead it does something that makes more sense. Why not do the thing that makes a lot of sense and use <input type="textarea">?
