Date: Sun, 1 Apr 2018 20:03:00 -0700 (PDT)

Enhancement request.

When a frame is narrower than the text in the
menu-bar, that text is wrapped.  And yet the value of frame parameter
`menu-bar-lines' is not increased (which is good).

It would be good to be able to know (from Elisp) how many "visual"
(effective) menu-bar lines there are currently, that is, how many times
the menu-bar text is wrapped.  (It is typically wrapped zero or one
time, producing text that appears visually to be two lines.)
