Full log
Message #5 received at submit <at> debbugs.gnu.org (full text, mbox):
This variable (defconst) doesn't seem to be documented anywhere.
It seems to be used for menus in general; it doesn't seem to be tied to
the menu-bar in any way. And its only doc is the doc string, which says
only "Separator for menus." Could it be renamed to remove any mention
of the menu-bar (keeping the old name as alias)?
How is it actually used? Is it used only in (some?) toolkits?
It's a defconst (why?), so presumably you shouldn't change it. But
changing it doesn't seem to have any effect anyway, in MS Windows. If
this is hard-coded then why is it even needed?
