I have been looking further into "menu binding pretty-printing",
and I agree that my previous approach was too narrow-minded.
I now have a solution where key-description produces a real human
readable text for menu bindings.
For example,
(key-description [menu-bar file new-file])
now prints
<menu-bar> <file> <new-file>
whereas with my patch to key-description, it will print
File=>New File...
Since this is implemented in key-description, it will show the new
format in all contexts, e.g. for C-h a, C-h k, C-h w, etc.
Another example:
Old:
<menu-bar> <options> <mule> <set-various-coding-system> <universal-coding-system-argument>
New:
Options=>Mule (Multilingual Environment)=>Set Coding Systems=>For Next Command
Shall I install this?
