If you use define-minor-mode, then the resulting code emits
a message if called interactively. That should work for menubar
invocation as well as for M-x without impacting direct calls
from Lisp programs.

The way I see it, the only standard part is (minor-mode 1) to turn
it on and (minor-mode -1) to turn it off.
I dislike the turn-on-X-mode things because they're just redundant.
Luckily, they can be ignored.
