I haven't had the opportunity to work with an editable combobox...until now.
There doesn't seem to be a special event for this activity. I see two
possibilities:

1. Since a combobox is a composite component, I could add a document
listener to the underlying JTextField. Even so, I'm not sure if this would
gain me anything.

2. Listen for actionPerformed events. If the current selectedItem() is not
in the model, add it.

any thoughts?
