I think this would work well for toolbars but not so well for menubars (I'm
thinking of the mswindows implementation here).
Newer Microsoft applications appear not to use the standard win32
menubars - instead they use toolbars that are made to act like menubars.
I see no reason why we couldn't do the same.
