On this topic, I am not sure how good it is to do this
automatically. One effect seems to be that context-menu-dictionary
inserts itself at an unintended place in the menu (in my case as the
first item, even though I'd prefer it to be further down). Might it make
more sense to autoload context-menu-dictionary and let the user manually
add it to context-menu-functions?
