 The buttons shown inside `input[type="number"]` inputs for incrementing
 and decrementing the value are the smallest buttons known to man.

 In Webkit at least, these [https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21266888
 /styling-html5-number-input-spin-box-in-chrome can be styled using CSS],
 although it appears that the two buttons are styled as one single element.

 Does someone want to look into this more and see if the styling of the
 buttons in WordPress' number inputs can be improved?

 Considerations:

  * Should the buttons be shown persistently or only on hover? I'd prefer
 the former.
  * Behaviour on touch devices (buttons should probably remain hidden)
  * Differences between platforms and browsers
