I think this will look nice, and it has no localization problems.

I think these should go in our existing View menu; maybe it would be good to
have them on the bottom. There's an analogy with the bar where the zoom
control comes just before the view choices

I think another oaf string is needed if we decide we want to use the "as
xxx" style, but I don't think we should use the "as xxx" style.
