In any case, it *is* a fairly obvious point in user interface design that giving users two identical choices that pop-up/run entirely different things is a horrible UI. It confuses the new user, makes writing coherent docs a mess, etc. I didn't really know that this was a debatable point. Of course, I don't know that the proposed solution does this, since, a week after it was proposed, a week after we've cut our last milestone release, and less than two weeks before we cut the hopefully-to-be-shipped release candidate, this proposed solution *has yet to land in any form at all*. Given the stage of the schedule now, I find it pretty preposterous that we're still considering changing things.
