The problem with easy-menu, is that it generates the command's binding
based on the entry name and this cannot be created dynamically (at
least not conveniently), so it can't make use of :suffix.  What should
happen, is that easymenu should detect that it's seeing "the same name"
again in the same menu and then generate a different key.
