FS just used the name MS uses for this type of control. Visually, the
button is split in half, if you click on the left hand side, or use the
space or enter bar, then the default action will be executed. If you
click on the right hand side of the button or use the right arrow key
then the submenu will come up. Neither drop down or closed seem like
they'd capture the dual nature of this button.
