I agree, but is that a real danger? How much context that gets into
context menu can there be for a single spot in a buffer?
And if indeed there's a lot of useful context, we should produce
multi-level context menus, like we do with buffer-menu.
Once again: this feature makes no sense whatsoever if turning on the
context-menu-mode doesn't activate the context menus.
