Option Menus (and missing features)

There have been a few email list threads recently about some long
standing bugs/enhancements that it would be nice, in
Post-Infinite-LiveCode world, to finally get fixed in a forth coming
version of LC.

I'd like to nominate to move to the top part of any list, support for
menu meta characters (for divider lines, disabled items, check marks,
menu tags, key equivalents, etc.) support in "menus" other than pulldown
menus. For me, I have a burning desire to see the ability to have
dividers "-" in *Option Menus*

A search of the Quality Center revealed these related bugs (and I am
sure I missed some)

All are in one way or another about supporting various pulldown menu
meta character features on Option Menus (and other menu types like
PopUps, etc.)

Any chance LiveCode might consider consolidating these and makes these
improvements in a 9.x release in the not to distant future?
