Well, this is completely crazy in my eyes.  Either this:

  * keyboard.c (menu_bar_items) (tool_bar_items)
  (Fexecute_extended_command): Deal with `keymap' property.

or this:

  * keyboard.c (menu_bar_items, tool_bar_items,
  Fexecute_extended_command): Deal with `keymap' property.

but not something inbetween!

This ChangeLog style is a typographic nightmare IMHO.  What on earth
was the reason to invent such a convention?
