+Notes on `v-b-modal` directive accessibility:

+- If the element is anything other than a `<button>` (or component that renders a `<button>`), the
+  ARIA `role` will be set to `button`, and a keydown event listeners for <kbd>ENTER</kbd> and
+  <kbd>SPACE</kbd> will be added, along with a `click` listener.
+- If the element is anything other than a `<button>` or `<a>` (or a component that renders either),
+  then a `tabindex` of `0` will be added to the element to ensure accessibility, unless there is
+  already a `tabindex` set.
