I do not care either way.  But if you want to implement horizontal menus
I really would opt for splitting the NSMenuView class into two
different classes.  (See my posts in reply to Fred Kiefer.)
The current NSMenuView class is a total mess because it tries to do
3 things at the same time: Vertical, popup and horizontal.
