[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

I've been puzzling on the text; probably theres a typo  
(possible->impossible) :)

That kind of menus are placeholders until we got ui's defined. A menu  
calling multiple operators is currently only possible as a temporarily  
operator!

There's more toggle-operators in code now (like editmode). A proper  
design would probably be giving a standard enum triple (SET, UNSET,  
TOGGLE). The default then can be toggle for easy keymap coding.
