Most other texture maps in 3dsmax have the ability enable/disable texture maps within with a checkbox (Mix map, for example).. this can be handy when building shaders, and would also make VrayCompTex more of a direct substitution for other legacy maps.
EDIT: multiplier spinners would be great too..

That would also mean having colors instead of just textures, right (which would be used when the texture is disabled)?

that would probably be ideal.. in some texture types, there is no color swatch, for example in a NormalBump texture type, and no value is used (as if there was nothing there at all). although that probably only makes sense when a single color is not usually an acceptible substition as is the case with normal and bump..
