A combobox that has aria-autcomplete="none" means that it supports
neither inline nor listbox suggested completions. The listbox
autocomplete scenario is where the list items are filtered to show only
the items that match what the user has typed in the text entry field. A
listbox is displayed, but it doesn't show all of its items.
Suppose, for example, the listbox contains the names of all 50 U.S.
states. If the user types "A", then the list box shows only the states
that begin with "A". If they type "Al", then "Arizona", "Arakansas",
etc. are removed from the display, further reducing the list of
available choices. If the user subsequently deletes the last character
they typed, then the states that were removed reappear in the listbox.
If aria-autcomplete="none", then no filtering is applied to the
listbox. No matter what the user types, the listbox shows all 50 states.
