As it is, on average, the user has to scroll through one-half of the
list to find their target. If allowed to wrap around from A to Z, on
average, we'd only have to scroll through one-quarter of the list.
That's worthwhile, at least for me.
The user essentially _must_ recognize that the list is alphabetical
in order to use it--with or without wrapping. Therefore, it adds no
particular confusion to allow wrapping from A to Z.
