Description
It would be very helpful if the autocomplelete control had an option that made it possible to only allow one of the valid list-choices to be entered in the corresponding text box.
I see an autocomplete as an advanced select / drop-down. The control should make it easier to input a valid choice from a list of choices. Having an autocomplete that allows the user to enter any text they'd like isn't very helpful, in most cases.

You can do this very easily with the change callback, if ui.item exists, then a choice was made. You'll want to combine that with the autoSelect extension. You can also see an example of how to do this in the combobox demo.
