Description
It would be useful for the SHtml methods that generate form elements to return an object which supports a method to return the data captured during the submission of that form element. This would allow a use pattern that avoids potential timing issues related to setting the values of vars via a closure, as is currently the common use pattern for the SHtml form elements.

As an alternative to naming this "AnswerHolder" it occurs to me that the common name for this sort of interface in mocking frameworks is Capture[T].
