Chris,
I like the details you provide as well. In particular your remarks
about TextMorph.
Mainstream user's feel immediately comfortable when they see a menu bar.
It is only after some time they will discover that they do not need it.
So we should maintain both paradigms. And it seems that the
pragma/method annotation solution comes in handy for this purpose.
The current solution with the search box is fine for me.
