It's all about convenience.  Notice the new convenience features for
the macro menu like separators and compact menus.  Then, things like
Save All or Close All really belong to File menu.  In addition,
defining key bindings for the menus is simplified.

Yes, it did.  Now, I had to make a decision and this simply followed
the best benefit/cost relation.  It was easy to implement the two
arrays $loaded_tags/tips_files, and it actually is more flexible than
having cascaded menus, because now one can unload all tags/tips files
at once, for instance.  Or, in combination with the
list_multisel_dialog() one can select those files to unload instead
of clicking who knows how often into a cascaded menu.  So, this
explains it - minimal effort with maximal effect.
