But thats class NSMenuExtra or NSStatusItem, not NSSystemMenu

While we're at it, what's the difference between an NSMenuExtra and an NSStatusItem in functionality?

I'm looking at the docs for NSStatusItem right now, but since NSMenuExtra is private, I probably won't use it. But I'd be interested in knowing what I'm missing? At first blush, I'm guessing that MenuExtras can have any control in them (like the volume one) but StatusItems are always typical NSMenus?

No, not at all. NSMenuExtras are just NSStatusItems that are contained in .menu bundles which execute inside SystemUIServer, and can be dragged around (dragged to menubar, cmd-dragged to re-order or remove).
