Seems like these mockups (and the new combo box) should be kept in sync
with general popover menus, especially wrt. the grouping behavior (i.e.

This is the third (fourth) incarnation of a combo box and there is
still opposition to keeping the API stable? That's just crazy.
Matthias' awesomeness aside, why would this be the last time?
