Re: C-h k is overly verbose/wrong for some menu bindings

    This has now been fixed to say 

         <menu-bar> <edit> <select-paste> (any string)

    Wouldn't it be clearer to say

         <menu-bar> <edit> <select-paste> <any string>

    This shows that the "any string" part is part of the sequence.

Not necessarily.  It could also lead people to think it refers to a
menu item named `any string'.  I chose parens to avoid that possible
misunderstanding.

Perhaps an added space after "(any string)" would make it clearer.
