...don't trust the header files! There's a lot of stuff in the header
files that isn't necessarily going to always work. We're getting better
about saying which is what, but, well, don't trust the headers.
Having said that, I think the edit menu is one of the least likely things
to change. The built-in apps all use that menu. I'm not saying it'll
always work just like it does, but on the other hand I can think of a whole
bunch of things that are more likely to break first.
You could think of using it like speeding, but not by very much. Yes, it's
illegal, but you're unlikely to get pulled over just for that. :)
