Ack, I was wrong about that.
`#wait_while_present` is equivalent to this:
Watir::Wait.while do
browser.element(class: 'here').present?
end
As soon as it does not find the element it is waiting while for, it will
exit the waiting loop. If you want to wait for it to go away then come
back, you'll need to wait_while_present then wait_until_present.
