AutoComplete: Support for HierarchicalCollection as a source?

[GV3]

Hi Josh,

As written in the title, this is a request to add support for HierarchicalCollection as a source or, better said, to be able to use a List or a GroupeList instead of only Lists.

We find this commonly in Contact lists where the user either scrolls through the contacts, uses the search textInput positioned over the list, or/ and does both of the before mentioned.

As a work-around, I'm adding both an AutoComplete and a GroupList to the Screen. If the user starts typing on the AutoComplete, I cover the GroupList with the List of the AutoComplete.

This workaround is good if you aim to select only one item. It does become troublesome when needing to select multiple items of the list, for that I find it user-friendlier to drop the GroupedList and use a regular List instead.

I do believe it would be great if only one List would be on the screen.

What are your thoughts?
