Description
Summary
Creating a split-grouped UI composed of inputs, buttons, and icons in MUI is surprisingly painful. We need a smarter grouping component similar to Ant Design's Space that can handle spacing, alignment, and composition of mixed elements more elegantly.
It's hard to understand why MUI, after more than a decade of development, still doesn't provide a first-class solution for such a common UI pattern.

Done means MUI has a first-class component covering the described mixed-element grouping use case, with its API and scope agreed by maintainers.
