Autocomplete should have an option to load the next X entries at end of list #2190

When scrolling through an autocomplete list, there should be an option to either click for more, or auto-load the next X entries. There have been numerous reports of people who come from pre-1.x versions where autocomplete was not used and become confused by the lack of entries in the boxes.

We might be able to get this if we move from jQueryUI's selectmenu to the Select2 widget. Either way, what we have now is sufficient, the users just have to learn how to do that. I kind of like the Select2 approach. However, I thought that selectmenu would be sufficient.

Once you know about it, the selectmenu makes sense. But, over the past few months there have been a few questions from users not knowing it's there (and it's not obvious especially as the docs are not updated with that info). I haven't even looked at select2 yet.
