I bound the lfun to branch inset context menu so toggling made sense.
But I can make the lfun more generic, i.e. allowing open/close/toggle arguments.

We would need to pass the "correct" branch name into lfun call.
You want inset-forall to sniff around for proper name? Does not look right.
Or is there way how to pass that string via specific parameter in context menu definition?
