Suggestion: Setting to change "value" key

[scott-laursen]

Use case: I am using an existing API to fetch data for the typeahead. The data from the API does not contain a key called "value". It does however have another meaningful key called "name" I would like to use.

Suggestion: To have a property where we can set the value key, so we do not have to write wrappers for existing API's.

$(element).typeahead([{
    name: 'source1',
    remote: '/api/search?q=%QUERY',
    valueKey: 'name'
}]);

I can tackle this.

Yea, I guess it should allow to set a Datums (not only the value key) the same as a custom template can already be provided as a option...

Delaying this to v0.9.
