​Opening important Leo files in the File menu seems reasonable to me. I am
not bothered about the duplication, as I said.

​Reasonable, despite possible duplication ;-)​

​Took me a few seconds to understand what you meant by "menu coding.  You
mean, I presume, the format of @menu and @item settings within settings
files.

This information belongs in leoSettings.leo, along with the documentation
of all other kinds of settings nodes. A help-for command would not
good--the information is for devs, not newbies.

leoSettings.leo should document @menu and @item in direct children of the
node called: `About this file, leoSettings.leo`.

I thought they were there, but apparently not. This is a big miss. Good
catch.  Please feel free to modify leoSettings.leo, or to suggest such
changes here.
