Here's an update. I added a couple of comments this time.
OptSubMenu isn't too useful yet because something is going awry in the
getStatus() stuff (perhaps mathed lfuns ?). We also need getStatus for
increase/decrease depth etc.
Any way, all comments gratefully received. JMarc, the ellipsisation[1]
should meet what you want.
