Sizing

Instead of applying button sizing props to every button in a group, just add size prop to the <ButtonGroup>.

Vertical variation

Make a set of buttons appear vertically stacked rather than horizontally, by adding vertical to the <ButtonGroup>. Split button dropdowns are not supported here.
