The following Tcl code is an example of creating user-customized menus. It adds
a menu containing a top-level item labeled "Do My Own Thing...", which prints
"my_own_thing.signals"; adds a cascading submenu labeled "changeCase" with
two entries, "To Upper" and "To Lower", which echo "my_to_upper" and
