 It is often desirable to style links or other elements as buttons for
 various purposes. In-content this allows very important (user-flow-type)
 links to gain emphasis (ex. "become a member" at the end of an about
 page). In plugins, it allows buttons that aren't technically buttons to
 inherit the theme's styling instead of creating their own, duplicating the
 theme's styling on a custom id (ex. Jetpack's infinite scroll), or using
 hacks to use the button-type elements that are styled by the theme.

 In Twenty Fourteen itself, `.contributor-posts-link` would benefit from
 using `.button` for its generic button styling, plus the more specific
 class for styling specific to that particular button.

 The use of the .button class in `wp-admin` provides inspiration for this
 proposal, as it has use cases on the front-end as well.
