I am finding that certain menus in emacs (supplied by external
packages) are so long that they overflow the boundaries of the screen
I happen to be working on.  Certain specific menus seem to have
controls on this sort of thing (e.g., w3-max-menu-length in the w3
browser system), but I can't find a generic facility for controlling
menu size.

Is there a known way to cope with this?
