Well, this need not be a showstopper - the actual number of bytes

That's a good idea. This work of yours ties in with the stuff I've been
pushing to git on lazy loading of scheme. We want people to be able to
upgrade a command from a new release or from denemo.org just by right
clicking on the command. They may be looking at a different part of the
menu system when they do that, and now it should not matter.
