	Fl_Choice_Input is what you're describing here, something I wrote
	a while ago, and I think was the first widget from me added to FLTK.

	OP might want a tighter integration though, like google's input field
	and firefox's url input field where the menu auto-appears below the
	entire input field, and doesn't grab focus so the user can still type
	while the menu is posted.

	So the menu probably needs to not be an actual menu, but just a drop down
	text field that overdraws everything else. Might be a little tricky to do.
