  // we ensure that font styles are inherited for input elements. We do this because inputs by
  // default have explicit font styles from the user agent, and we set the desired font styles
  // in the parent `mat-form-field` element (for better custom form-field control support).
  // Note: We increase specificity here because the MDC textfield seems to override this,

  // use an `input` element. We organize the vertical spacing on the infix container.

  // want do this for labels in the notched-outline since MDC keeps those labels relative to
  // the notched outline container, and already applies a specific horizontal spacing which

  // MDC tries to offset the label when the parent element changes in the notched-outline. For
  // example, the outline stroke width changes on focus. Since we updated the label to use a fixed
  // position, we don't need the vertical offsetting (that will shift the label incorrectly now).

  // explicitly set to a specific value by MDC, the control will not align correctly vertically.
