Not that one item in and of itself, no, but overall the "Help" menu does
feel overwhelming.  Anything we could remove from it would help, and to
my mind this is an obvious candidate.

The help-echo and the menu item text could just switch places, and it
would be an improvement, IMHO.

(FWIW, I couldn't find anything about "Mule" in the Emacs manual outside
of "ps-mule.el" and `(emacs) MS-DOS'.)
