And it also deletes a lot of code. Nice!

That is just what I had in mind. Great!

Well, it's more of a commodity. I've mistakenly opened that menu with
the hope of quitting that application and then I end up doing it from
the windows or the message tray (does anybody use the menu of the
current app's title on top just to close windows?). I figured that
having it in the menus of the left icons' area would be useful to close
all instances of apps, which I don't think is that usual but I sometimes
wish I could do it.
