Yeah, I discovered that.  But actually my patch does this right --
because there is already a define-presentation-type menu-item in
mcclim, it just got clobbered by the class definition.  Defining the
menu-item class with a different name (%menu-item) leaves the
presentation type untouched -- and that presentation type doesn't
inherit from expression or form, and doesn't have a translator to
expression or form.  So everything comes out right.

I think that this isn't necessary, and that my last patch is the Right
Thing as well as actually working.
