Feature request

Hi, I have a small suggestion about date inputs. I can’t find any way to disable changing input value on date range hover right now. Maybe it would be better if onHoverChange behavior can be optional for DataRangeInput. As well as maybe it would be cool to add onHoverChange effect to DateInput where is not working for now

Examples

I think it should be something like this

import { DateRangeInput } from "@blueprintjs/datetime";

<DateRangeInput
  {...}
  shouldChangeOnHover={false}
/>

@adidahiya ok, I understood. But what about adding onHoverChange to DateInput?

@olegshilov what will you use that for? Can you explain your use case in more detail?

As you mentioned above, for example for this (=

@olegshilov yes, that "preview" is built into the component behavior already. So I'm asking what would you use the prop for outside the component? It helps to share more context about your use case.
