Suggest needs a more flexible inputValueRenderer

[tnrich]

I think it would be great if the Suggest component (and perhaps InputGroup's in general) could optionally render something other than a string as their value. For example, for a color Suggest it would be very useful to have the input look more like:

Any thoughts on this @giladgray ?

Thanks!

@tnrich I agree with this request but there's a pretty significant hurdle here: Suggest renders an input which only accepts string values. You can, however, use inputProps.icon etc to render the colored square.

@giladgray I understand that. I think something should change in that case because it is quite a limitation currently.

I think it should probably render a modified TagInput like MultiSelect does. I'm going to basically modify the MultiSelect to turn it into a single select for my needs because the Tag value can be much more easily customized.

@tnrich please share how that goes, I'm sure the results will be interesting.
