Feature: add option to close dropdown on mousedown outside instead of full click about headlessui HOT 4 CLOSED

I like the idea to just straight up switch to mouse down. If Tim does it, we do it #macOS

Hey! Thank you for your suggestion!
Much appreciated! 🙏

I think that an option to control it is not a good idea, I prefer consistency. That said, I think we might want to switch to just mouse down instead of a full click everywhere.
We made some decisions based on macOS behaviour (for example, Menu & Listbox options don't wrap around).
When I look at the native Menu on mac, or a native <select> html element, these also disappear on mouse down instead of a full click.
When you look at inputs, they also loose focus when you mouse down outside of the element.

@adamwathan what do you think of switching from a full click to just a mouse down for this outside click behaviour?
