This is actually orthogonal to the easy-menu discussion.
The problem comes simply from the fact that Richard changed the key name
from "files" to "file".  He did do it as a result of the discussion,
admittedly.  AFAIK he only did it for "consistency".  It seemed a bit
gratuitous to me, although I do agree that consistency is a nice property.
