A @racket[menu-item%] is a plain string-labelled menu item. Its
parent must be a @racket[menu%] or @racket[popup-menu%]. When the
user selects the menu item, its callback procedure is called.

(get-default-shortcut-prefix)])]{
Creates a new menu item in @racket[parent]. The item is initially
shown, appended to the end of its parent. The @racket[callback]
procedure is called (with the event type @indexed-racket['menu]) when
the user selects the menu item (either via a menu bar,
@xmethod[window<%> popup-menu], or @xmethod[editor-admin%
popup-menu]).
See @method[labelled-menu-item<%> set-label] for information about
mnemonic @litchar{&}s in @racket[label].
If @racket[shortcut] is not @racket[#f], the item has a shortcut. See
@method[selectable-menu-item<%> get-shortcut] for more information.
The @racket[shortcut-prefix] argument determines the set of modifier
keys for the shortcut; see @method[selectable-menu-item<%>
get-shortcut-prefix].
If @racket[help] is not @racket[#f], the item has a help string. See
@method[labelled-menu-item<%> get-help-string] for more information.
The @racket[demand-callback] procedure is called by the default
@method[menu-item-container<%> on-demand] method with the object itself.
