Why is there a corresponding item?  Why doesn't ECB use easy-menu for
accessing menus created with easy-menu?

I really dislike Richard's change (for aesthetical reasons: I don't
like menu entries Gamma and gamma to be swapped), but it should not
break packages: the internal symbols from easymenu should either not
be used externally, or there should be a proper interface for
accessing them.

It appears we are having a problem here independent from that Richard
tried to address.
