Before concluding that this suggestion will cause trouble to the
over-crowded menu bar, we should talk about where this new items might
be placed. If we place it in an existing sub-menu, then the problems
it will cause might not be that grave. For example, how about the
Options->Customize Emacs sub-menu?

In a 55-line subsection, plus another 54-line section in the
Appendices that describes the Windows-specific quirks!

To be fair, the tool bar still has some free space on it. But I
actually wonder about something else: what other applications have a
tool-bar button to access the init file, or even just the
customization menu?
