I've now almost implemented this.  I'm trying to find something that
maps

[menu-bar help-menu describe describe-function]

to "Help" -> "Describe" -> "Describe Function"

but I'm not finding anything.  I looked at the tmm code, and it does a
lot of tedious keymap traversing to do its stuff, but then again, it's
more extensive.

Do we have a function somewhere that maps key strokes to menu names?
