I mean rather the following case:

        * window.el (truncated-partial-width-window-p): New function.

        * menu-bar.el: Remove Longlines mode from menu.  Add word-wrap
        option.

When you type `C-c C-c' on the file name `menu-bar.el' (or anywhere
inside the text of its entry) it visits `truncated-partial-width-window-p'
in window.el instead of visiting the file menu-bar.el as it is more expected.
