I also realized that the overlap isn't as much as you'd think

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;

}
