Consider a use case such as this. You have a mouse menu with several
groups of items, separated by separator lines (e.g. "--"). One or more
of these groups should only be shown under certain conditions
(e.g. (featurep 'foo)). You thus want to give a :visible condition to
not only the menu items in such a group but also to the separator that
precedes (or follows) the group.
In easymenu, the only documented case for a separator is a string of
separator chars, e.g. "--", not a vector entry that contains keywords
such as :visible.
You can use ["--" 'ignore :visible (my-condition)] to do the job. But
this possibility is likely not to be obvious to everyone. So please
document it. (BTW, is there some other way to accomplish this?)
See also http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=6344#21, which was
a similar bug (fixed).

This seems to be covered in the "Menu Separators" node.

No, it is not. This is about easy-menu, which is a different beast.
It is not at all obvious that you can do this with easy-menu.
