Description
In Vaadin 8 beta 1 filtering happens against the string caption only. In many case it would be handy to get reference to the actual option, to create domain specific filtering possibilities, like "specialproperty:foo age:>3 mystringfilter".

Research direction
Start by locating ComboBox's in-memory filtering path and reading how option captions are currently used during filtering. Define how the actual option object would be exposed for domain-specific expressions such as "specialproperty:foo age:>3 mystringfilter". Done means the proposed filtering behavior and API are implemented and covered for both existing caption filtering and option-based filtering.
