Using something like `define-key-safely' maybe.

There never was such a parameter.

On a windowing system it's not Emacs who decides how many lines the
menubar takes up.  And the Windows API isn't even able to tell
applications how many lines it actually uses for the menubar.  Most GNU
based applications like Mozilla and Thunderbird do not allow Windows to
make two menubar lines in the first place.
