Ah, that is quite different.  If you want to use a programming
analogy, a better one would be using text box as opposed to a drop
down list.  One give only selected choices while the other allows for
anything (at the expense of being much more dangerous).

Of course, there are situations where it is good to use one and not
the other.  I only point out that the possibility is there, but not
often realized.
