I could use tooltips I suppose ... a minor point anyway.

hmm ? It's a hint - frontends are free to ignore it. This makes sense to
me.

So how do I have multiple user defined toolbars ?

Then the backend should return nothing (I've already done this).
Making me check the magic type and see if it's one that might require a
buffer is ugly.

I believe we've covered this territory (unsuccessfully) before.

ok, sure.

yes, it would. I suspect they just hard code everything in; they don't

A signal is pretty ignorant IMHO.
We reached this empasse before. You claim I don't have to fill menus on
demand on the one hand, but say I can't keep up to date on the other.
I can't spot the middle ground you're talking about ?
