The style bit supplied to the JFace Action widget only supports a single one of the available styles.

But, I wish to provide my users with a toggle-button that has a built-in drop-down menu. This drop down is to modify the behaviour of the state that is being switched on and off.

This is typical of the UI element called a Split Button.

I believe the current drop-down behaviour also implicitly supports Push behaviour.

It would be logical to allow one of Push, Radio, Checkbox, optionally OR'd with a Drop-Down style bit. This would add the drop-down capability to the three styles of button.
