- replace rna context.mode_string with an enum context.mode, that way its self documenting and is used as a string from py anyway.

- view3d use select menus use the context.mode enum value.

- if selectmenu in dir(bpy.types) # creates a list of 1400+ strings, does a lookup and throws them away, better avoid this for redrawing.
