It's not a separate issue. The above leads to "two kinds of menu items: those
that represent a state and those that offer an action". The whole reason why it's
confusing _is_ the existence of two kinds. Changing the way they look doesn't
eliminate the fundamental problem. By changing the text, we can unify all this
and have only one kind of menu item, which is much less confusing.
