Speaking of counterintuitive and why not?, 

entrycget(index, 'menu')

returns the Tk string name of the menu, requiring a call to
nametowidget() before one can actually do something like

someMenu['bg'] = 'red'

Not a big deal, but it is rather unexpected to put a menu instance in
with entryconfigure() and get back something like '.8125431.8121234' .
