That's precisely why I think menu alternates are a very bad idea.
Since the toolbar is taking up precious space, and can be turned off
at any time, I expect the menu bar to hold every action I can perform
at any given moment.  The fact that there's no indication that if I
hold down a certain arcane combination of modifier keys I *might* just
find the functionality I'm looking for is really disconcerting to me.
The new Help menu goes some ways to alleviating this problem, but I
still think it would be nice to have some sort of visual indication
that a menu item has alternates.
