Description

For example, this doesn't work:

MultiSelect([1=>"a", 2=>"b"]; default=Any[1])

image

This can become annoying when the default is generated from some loosely-typed data.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate how MultiSelect validates the default argument. Ensure it accepts any iterable containing keys that match the options, not just specific array types. Look at the type signature and conversion logic.
