It is a different thing than that.  I customarily using the `up' and `down' key
to move through the collection of entries.  Could there be some form of indicator
(e.g. highlight, underline, some other means) that will tell me that is was selected
as the default by the package designer?  Currently I see no distinction, with all 
entries in collection as just an entry like any other.
