[development] gotcha: menu wildcards, foreach() and MENU_SUGGESTED_ITEM

[Peter Wolanin]

Menu module is one example in core where several links are created and
added to the navigation menu.  For some things like node types, we
probably could have done the same (rather than using a foreach) but we
had also hit the "don't fix it if it works" phase of the core cycle.
