The mode line is described in the tutorial, which should be the first
reading.  A user who doesn't understand what is displayed in the mode
line will have much more difficult problems than to find her way in
these 3 menu items.

I didn't decide anything.  I was just giving some response and context
to this bug report.  I hope it will be useful to whoever will decide
to make the changes in the menus.

Thanks.
