Or something like:

( ) means Y/N
and
< > means Y/N/M

just like it already does right now?

Maybe the very first option on the menuconfig should be "About Menu
Config" which results in help information that documents notation such
as this.

I agree that a Y may be more consistant than a *, however I think the
present ( ) and < > looks cleaner than what you suggest even if it does
take some getting used too.
