GNUstep, and I believe NEXTstep and old school macOS, allows you to
"tear off" menus and leave them on screen as sort of custom toolbars.
Hence the title on each menu.

Emacs doesn't support this with the main menus (it was the source of a
crash, so I removed it), but I don't know if it's something we should
support. I suspect not because once Emacs updates the menus it
probably can't handle clicks on old ones.
