Actually, from here, that sounds like the _clean_ solution.
Similarly, I don't have a f.restart anywhere in my menus; I have a
custom f.newrestart since I run a `make` as part of the restarting to
build the config files.

I dunno. Tying it to anything but f.quit isn't going to be reliable;
e.g., if ctwm segfaults, we're in no condition to do much of anything.
And that feels more cleanly done via wrapping than via injection.
FWIW, I many years ago added an extra menu level to avoid accidentally
exiting (which I _totally_ didn't do several times in one day prior to
adding it). e.g.,
menu "twmstuff"
{
[...]
"Exit " f.menu "exit"
}
menu "exit"
{
"Exit? " f.title
" " f.nop
"Yes, dammit" f.quit
}
So I have to follow it into a submenu, and then move down past the nop
to actually exit, which makes it real hard to do accidentally. Useful
trick.
