good first issue

Description

For example, this doesn't work:

MultiSelect([1=>"a", 2=>"b"]; default=Any[1])

image

This can become annoying when the default is generated from some loosely-typed data.

Research direction
Investigate the type constraints of the `default` parameter in `MultiSelect` and ensure it accepts arrays (e.g., `Any[1]`) in addition to other types.
