Bug Description

There are 2 ways of restricting User to a predetermined set of choices in a widget: a drop-down list or a plain input with an autocompletion list (and editable=false). In both cases the list of possible choices could be provided only via @enum option inside a model. Yet @enum rigidly implies only drop-down widget as its representation, while autocompletion input is shown if a separate schema attribute 'autocompletionUrl' is provided. This is a wrong approach: we should be able to switch between drop-down widget and input widget with autocompletion depending on a number of choices (hard to use drop-down list for more than dozens of choices) and possibly other constraints.
