An earlier thread suggested that tool bar icons should _add to_ rather than
replace existing icons. I would like to suggest the converse for the menubar
i.e. a variable, menu-bar-map, that can be made buffer-local like tool-bar-map
can. The reason for this is that I'd like to use the menu-bar like a tool bar
on text-only terminals, but currently the global menu items get in the way.
There is a feature by which a minor mode can turn off specific global
menu items. It should be in the manual.
Actually, I don't understand why the tool-bar has it's own map, while the
menu-bar doesn't anyway.
On general principles, I think the tool bar should be handled just
like the menu bar, with a phony prefix key that can be used in any
active map.
Is there any practical reason not to change that, after the release?
