menu_item ->initialise: value=any, message=[code]*, label=[name|image|markup], end_group=[bool], condition=[code]*, accelerator=[name]*, mnemonic=[name]*

Create a menu_item from

1. menu_item<->value (any) This argument is the value associated with this item.
2. menu_item<->message [code]* Message sent when item is activated. @default uses the dialog_item<->message.
3. menu_item<->label [name|image|markup] Visual appearance: text or image. When @default, this is computed using menu_item<-default_label from the value.
4. menu_item<->end_group [bool] Popup menu's only. When @on, a line is drawn between this item and the next.
5. menu_item<->condition [code]* Popup menu's only. Condition to determine menu_item<->active status. When @nil (default), this is not evaluated when the popup is mapped on the screen.
6. menu_item<->accelerator [name]* Shortcut shown at the right of the label, such as Ctrl-S.
7. menu_item->mnemonic [name]* Letter that is underlined in the label and selects the item from the keyboard. @default has it assigned by menu->assign_accelerators; a letter or @nil fixes it.
