bug#73108: 29.2; easy-menu-define
The docstring and the Elisp manual both state that easy-menu-define "defines SYMBOL as a function for popping up the menu" but it doesn't. It defines SYMBOL as a variable whose value is the menu, which could be used for popping up the menu. This behaviour is useful and I use it, so I suggest that the documentation should be corrected.

Looking again, SYMBOL appears to be both a variable and a function, so I was wrong. Sorry! But it might be helpful to add to the documentation that SYMBOL also defines a variable.

Are you sure? emacs -Q M-x load-library RET bookmark RET M-: (symbol-function 'bookmark-menu) RET => #[257 "\301^A\3009\203^W\0\302\300\303N\304\"... Adding Stefan in case he has comments.
