The problem

We've received a few points of feedback since introducing type="text" to NumberInput. These items need fixed.

The solution

• The event value from onChange and onBlur should be a Number, not the locale-formatted string.
  • If for some reason the consumer wants the locale-formatted string, they'll need to look at the input event.target.value directly
• When focus is on a stepper button and focus moves away from that stepper button, onBlur is not called but should be
• When the input field is empty, clicking a stepper should reset to 0 or move a step, also taking into account min and max.
  • min/max thoughts: Incrementing from an empty input always starts at min, decrementing always starts at max. If no min or max it starts at 0
