Then we need to decide what is the preferred way for the users
to add the dictionary menu item to the context menu.
1. One possible way is allow the user to customize context-menu-functions,
and manually paste context-menu-dictionary to the entry field:
INS DEL Choice: Value Menu Custom function: context-menu-dictionary
2. To allow using 'add-hook' in the user's init file with e.g.
(add-hook 'context-menu-functions 'context-menu-dictionary 1)
In either case, 'context-menu-dictionary' should be autoloaded
like you suggested. So now I've changed dictionary.el according to this,
thanks for the suggestion.
