bug#7542: 24.0.50; (elisp) `Extended Menu Items' - undefined specifier:


From: Drew Adams
Subject: bug#7542: 24.0.50; (elisp) `Extended Menu Items' - undefined specifier: KEY-BINDING-DATA
Date: Fri, 3 Dec 2010 09:54:47 -0800

The node says this:
 
   To define a real menu item which can be selected, the extended format
 binding looks like this:
 
     (menu-item ITEM-NAME REAL-BINDING
         . ITEM-PROPERTY-LIST)
 
 Here, ITEM-NAME is an expression which evaluates to the menu item
 string.  Thus, the string need not be a constant.  The third element,
 REAL-BINDING, is the command to execute.  The tail of the list,
 ITEM-PROPERTY-LIST, has the form of a property list which contains
 other information.
 
   When an equivalent keyboard key binding is cached, the extended menu
 item binding looks like this:
 
     (menu-item ITEM-NAME REAL-BINDING (KEY-BINDING-DATA)
         . ITEM-PROPERTY-LIST)
 
There is no description (anywhere) of KEY-BINDING-DATA - no explanation
of what it looks like or what it means/does.  IOW, this information about
cached bindings is incomplete and incomprehensible.
 
The same problem exists for node `Simple Menu Items'.
