/**
 * Provides a wrapper element to group one or more buttons in a form.
 *
 * Use of a single Actions element with an array key of 'actions' to group the
 * primary submit buttons on a form helps to ensure proper styling in themes,
 * and enables other modules to properly alter a form's actions.
 *
 * Usage example:
 * @code
 * $form['actions'] = array('#type' => 'actions');
 * $form['actions']['submit'] = array(
 *   '#type' => 'submit',
 *   '#value' => $this->t('Save'),
 * );
 * @endcode
 *
 * @RenderElement("actions")

   * would generate two separate dropbuttons, which each contain the corresponding
   * buttons.
