Add a drop down option to slicer to choose "horizontal" list, and name it something meaningful like "button layout"

Can we also add some more formatting options for the items while we're at it.

Oh yeah. This thing is damn hard to find as is. I just spent 10 minutes looking for it as per this Twitter thread: https://twitter.com/InsightsMachine/status/1277884095129739264

It turns out that A Slicer has to be a 'list' - not a 'dropdown' - for the Layout option to show up.

Nonsensical really. And damned annoying if you don't know that.

Which of course you don't, at the time.
