Upon further reflection, it occurs to me that this might really be useful.
 I currently have the menu bar enabled, but the majority of its utility is
in presenting commands that are not global (I know C-x C-f, but maybe not
C-c C-d in Outline mode).  With access to the buffer-specific menus from
the mode line, I could perhaps get rid of the menu bar.
