I agree that a logically seperation is a good thing, but this in
particular case, it seems as if there is some overlap. For example,
both routers and menus would have to do access control ...
Menu items can point to user/1 or node/12345. These would still need to be mapped to the
'node/%s' router. Which then gets the access permission.
Another idea I had was to pass the routes to the menu hook, and allow people to do the following: (i'm not sure what we are using as the wildcard now)
function module_menu($routes) {
$menu['wherever/too'] = drupal_menu('node/12345', $routes['node/%s'], $array_props);
# or alternatively perhaps :
$menu['wherever/this/is/shown'] = drupal_menu('user/12') // this could do the mapping and cache it. (without the need for recursion through the whole tree later)
return $menu;
}
