Menu item visibleWhen a handler is active [message #331197]

I want to make menu items (added using the menus extension point)
visible when a handler for its command is active.
I saw in the wiki a plan for
<visibleWhen handler="true"/>
but this is not yet implemented, right?

Is there a simple trick to mimic this behavior?

The best you can do in 3.4 is to use checkEnabled="true" with
visibleWhen. Your menu item will be visible when the command is enabled.
