I'll keep it in mind, although the final implementation
will most likely look a little different, since I also
want to allow submenus for plugins, which shall follow
a common scheme (i.e. it will not use '-' at the beginning
to indicate submenus, but rather something along the lines
of /Menu/Submenu1/Submenu2/...).
