But a useful option might be to make it so that M-f invokes
forward-word where as <meta> f invokes the file menu. (With this I
mean that the user presses and then releases the Meta or Alt key or
whatever this key to the left of the space bar is labeled.)

But it _does_ override the M-f command for users who set
`modifier-keys-are-sticky' (in XEmacs, I guess in GNU Emacs there must
be a similar facility using the `event-apply-.*-modifier functions?
but "apropos modifier" doesn't find it). The interaction with the
equivalent platform facility is not obvious to me, either (especially
if you have an input method active too!)
I like Ben's implementation which makes the behavior user-configurable
(although I wish it were generalizable to keyboard themes).
