We've tried to minimise the number of string changes, so as not to
affect translations.

These choices are difficult to make, because the use case for many of
these operations does not actually fit in with the way they've been
implemented as dialogues. So that makes it tougher to sort them into
coherent menus.

So, there won't be any major changes before WartyWarthog at this stage,
but we can review it (along with upstream) for HoaryHedgehog.
