There's a problem with our code that disables menu items if some
conditions for invoking the respective commands are not satisfied:
there's no way to get help for these menu items (e.g., with C-h c or
C-h k) as long as the menu item is disabled.
I'm not sure how best to solve this, but it looks to me like a serious
problem. A user who wants to know what a menu item does should be
able to do that even if the command itself cannot be invoked.
Perhaps we should introduce a special variable that, when non-nil,
allows the disabled menu items to send their events to the input
queue. HELP commands could then bind this variable.
