No, Switcher does not use this, if I understand the proposal.  First, the
Switcher arrow is graphics, not a menu title.  Second, it does not go
through the Menu Manager; instead, it intercepts mouse-down events in
GetNextEvent and uses "raw" hit-testing to see if they occurred in the
Switcher arrow.  This is not the same thing Chuq is suggesting.

I still think that controls and character equivalents for menu commands do
the same thing better than no-command menus, though....
