    A ComboListView combines an label with a drop down list of default inputs;

    choosing any from the pulled list sets the string in the label.

    This is the same as a PopUpList or SelectionInListView, bit looks different.

    The preferred model is a SelectionInList, but a simple valueHolder

    may also be used. 

    If some other model is to be used, the changeMessage and aspectMessage 

    should be defined as appropriate (or an aspectAdaptor should be used).

    If a listHolder is set, that one is assumed to provide the list of

    items in the popped menu; 

    otherwise, if listMessage is nonNil, the model is assumed to also provide the

    list as displayed in the popped menu.

    sometimes, you may like the index instead of the value:

    (notice, that the separating line counts, so you have to take care ...)

    since the list is actually represented by a menuView,

    which itself is inheriting from listView, which itself can display

    things different from strings, arbitrary lists can be constructed:

    (see ListEntry, LabelAndIcon and Text classes)
