I can't object to this behaving in the expected way, if you want to
take the effort to make it work. It makes sense to me. On the other
hand, since a command table (and its menu) are shared global resources
rather than part of the local state of a frame, I'm having trouble
imagining uses other than resolving the obvious "I just added a new
command, why can't I see it?" situation, which shouldn't arise often
anyway if you organize your commands into logical menus.
