+/**
+ * Select input sizing
+ * 1. Uses rems so that safari input scales with font size
+ * 2. This min-width was chosen because:
+ *    - it makes the Select wider than it is tall (which is what users expect)
+ *    - 20ex + 3ex matches the 'width-10' variant of the input component
+ *    - it fits comfortably on screens as narrow as 240px wide
