Imagine that!  And here everyone else says it's good enough, so it must 
be, right?

The solution that I chose involves storing the menu declaration in YAML, 
though the caller loads the YAML and passes a data-structure to the 
API.  It's still preliminary and obviously not for everyone, but hey 
it's not a one-way street that starts in python and drops your menu 
items on the floor.
