bug#44454: 26.3; Enhancement request: let :help in menus take a FORM arg


From: Drew Adams
Subject: bug#44454: 26.3; Enhancement request: let :help in menus take a FORM arg, i.e., be eval'd
Date: Wed, 4 Nov 2020 13:34:17 -0800 (PST)

Enhancement request:

In extended menu items and the easy-menu stuff, the value of :help must
be a literal string.  Consider perhaps letting it be a FORM, i.e., have
it be evaluated, like :visible and :enable.

It would be backward compatible.  If you use a sexp now the result is
that you just don't get any help echo.
