When the minibuffer is used the menu-bar automatically changes to
provide menus appropriate for using the minbuffer.  This is a good
thing.

However, there can be use cases for keeping the menu-bar as it was
before the minbuffer was entered.  This can be the case if the
minibuffer is used to access menu-bar menu items (using completion, for
instance).  In such contexts it can make sense for the command reading
from the minibuffer to be able to keep the menu-bar as it was, so users
can see what the menu names are.

This enhancement request is to provide that possibility in Lisp - for
example by binding a global variable.
