Currently the Swing library is missing a DefaultComboBoxEditor class. The
basic plaf implementation directly extends the ComboBoxEditor interface.

Problems:
  1. Inconsitent API reletavely to other Swing components: JTable, JList,
JTree, etc., all of which provide a default implementation of their editors.

  2. A UI delegate is actaully implementing some of the controller's
functionality.

  3. In order to implement a custom editor that can work with anything besides
plain Strings, one would need to repeat all of the functionality of
swing.plaf.basic.BasicComboBoxEditor or extends from it, which smell more like
a hack.
