These all look OK to me, so I've applied the patches to Emacs 29, and
expanded the `type' of `context-menu-functions' to list them, so that
people can add them more easily.

The discussion then went on to whether there should be an infrastructure
to make modes add more context functions automatically -- and I think
there should be, but it's unclear what that mechanism would look like.
In any case, it seems beyond the scope of this bug report, so I'm
closing it, and a new report should be opened for discussion about the
more general issue (or perhaps discussed on emacs-devel).
