I agree: in fact this sounds more like a bug fix than a new feature to me.
Looking at the source I see:
	this.doOnBlur = function(currVal){
		this.checkValue();
		// this.hideOptions();
		return true;
	}
Does anyone know why that is commented out?

Your other two suggestions sound like things that might be optional features.
