[forms-devel] Offer to extend Frame and add SegmentedButtonGroup

[Michael Ridland]

With those colors and radius it looks like a iOS control but it's not
necessarily for iOS only. Most likely colors and radius would be within the
design of the app anyway, with a dark theme it would be dark and light
theme it would be light.
