illustration of desired unification of title & old style menubar

See illustration 

Would it be possible for Gtk to automatically place the MenuBar inside the
HeaderBar if no "SubTitle" is specified by the application, saving screen
space? (such that the MenuBar occupies the space the SubTitle would have taken)

When running legacy applications (e.g. emacs, anything else), there is the
undesirable effect of having screen space taken for a large 'HeaderBar' holding
the WindowTitle+MinimizeIcon+MaximizeIcon+CloseIcon , AND space for an
additional old-style MenuBar.

Alternatively, could these old-style applications automatically revert to using
an old style thin title bar , (e.g. if no icons or subtitles are added to the
HeaderBar), achieving the same amount of space used in classic environments.
