[development] link to issue + solution Re: D7 small survey: listing of node types at/node/add

[Moshe Weitzman]

Augustin - it is misleading to include 'access' and friends in your  
menu item. They will *NOT* be used. Anyone who relies on them has  
unknowingly compromised their security. You can only inherit whatever  
the original menu item had in 'access'. I think this is clearer:

> $items[] = array('path' => 'node/add',
>      'callback' => 'mymodule_node_add',  // -->> check this line.
