Ok, we can worry about that another time.

I've attached an updated patch that lets context-menu-functions add 
items to the beginning of the keymap as they currently do, while still 
removing consecutive separators correctly. Since this logic is a bit 
tricky, it could probably use an automated test or two, but before I 
write some, I wanted to check that the strategy I'm using seems 
reasonable. It's probably easiest to explain the logic by just pointing 
to the patch; I added several comments describing the behavior so that 
reviewers (and future readers) should be able to make sense of it.
