Thanks for the explanation.

So its use is only when the menu-bar is not
shown.  The doc string should probably at least
point that out.

And perhaps it can be shown only by C-mouse-3,
and only when the menu-bar is not shown (in
the clicked frame).

And maybe use the command I mentioned instead,
either from the keyboard or from C-mouse-3.
Or when the menu-bar is shown, from there too.
It just toggles the menu-bar for the selected
frame (or the FRAME arg).
