Description
Hello,
Big fan of input_task_button()
Sometimes a downloadButton may take a little while to prepare its contents (e.g., if you're downloading a shapefile, you may need to write it to a temp directory, zip that file, and then download that zipped file) and I wouldn't want a user to hammer the download button over and over.
So, my question is - is there an equivalent for shiny::downloadButton() on the horizon?
Or is there already a way to link up input_task_button() to a download manager?
Cheers!

No file or test is named. Start by locating the implementation and usage of input_task_button(), then compare its behavior with shiny::downloadButton() and the described slow download workflow. Done means there is a supported equivalent or documented integration that prevents repeated download requests while contents are prepared.
