Feature

What is the current behavior?

The combobox does not a built-in way to group options. Attempts to do this on the "consumer" side are hacky and and not fully accessible.

Issue Number: #635

What is the new behavior?

The combobox allows grouping options.

I used this example as guide: https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/listbox/examples/listbox-grouped/

Does this PR introduce a breaking change?

No.
