Comment (by sirbrillig):

 Status update for the patch:
 - Trying to figure out how to get `partial.showControl()` to work with a
 menu (currently does nothing).
 - Also noticed a bug (actually noticed by @westonruter in the plugin repo
 [https://github.com/Automattic/customize-direct-
 manipulation/issues/23#issuecomment-251543800] ) where partials do not
 call their `ready()` method when first added.
 - Experimenting with injecting the icons directly to the elements in the
 DOM (mostly working!).
 - Need to find/make an event that is triggered when a partial is removed
 so the associated icon can be removed.

 Sorry for my slowness here. I'm not super-familiar with the selective
 refresh code and the panel focusing code. If anyone has any help to offer
 on the above, please let me know.
