This is what MENU_ITEM_GROUPING does last I checked. It is used to
show node/add if any children of node/add are visible. I tried to use
this a long time ago, before the admin menu reorganization, to remove
the 'access administration pages' permission. The problem I ran into
was admin/help wanting to be visible if the parent is visible. I
haven't looked at it recently.

I'd like to see the 'access administration pages' permission removed,
in favor of showing the top-level admin pages when someone has access
to any sub-page.
