idea: Menus of variable width.

Many times the fixed width of the menus (hp48/50) only allows to see part of the commands name or variables name, the ti68k calculators, show the menus with a variable width, ideal to replicate this operation on newRPL,

One problem: 131 pixels on the screen are not much to play with. Variable width menus mean there won't be space for 6 keys, and you would have to scroll the menus somehow to see what's there.
