TBH, I wasn't quite sure where to add my menu.  But I'm open to better
suggestions.

Thanks for spotting this, I will add autoloads.

The Elisp doc says in (info "(elisp) Extended Menu Items"): 

‘:key-sequence nil’
     This property indicates that there is normally no key binding which
     is equivalent to this menu item.  Using this property saves time in
     preparing the menu for display, because Emacs does not need to
     search the keymaps for a keyboard equivalent for this menu item.

I just thought this is how it's done.
