A menu installed as a menubar (root['menu'] = menu) or as a cascade is cloned by Tk under an auto-generated name where each path component is the original name prefixed with one or more # clone markers (for example .#!menu). nametowidget() raised KeyError for such names because the clones are not registered in the widget's children. It now maps a clone name back to the original widget.

Map the auto-generated name of a cloned menu (a menu used as a menubar
or a cascade) back to the original widget instead of raising KeyError.
