Eli also added an option first to disable the mode, and I turned it into
a toggle.  And yes, that counts as a discussion, since it involved more
than one person.

Let's say a hypothetical user with limited memory turns frame undeletion
on, realizes that it uses too much memory to be useful to him, and then
wants to turn it off.

By the time he realizes he wants it off, the output of view-lossage is
no longer likely to be helpful to determine exactly how the feature was
enabled, so naturally he will look in the place where he turned it on,
which is the File menu, and get very confused if all that is there is
"Undelete Frame", and not "Disable Frame Undeletion" or some variant
thereof.
