Just toying with quicksilver and the menu bar plugin, i came across the 
'show all menus' menu command and that got me wondering if there would be a 
way to include all the menu bar items across all running applications and 
make them accessible at any given time. 

Using one particular app you get the idea to start an activity or do some 
action in another program that would involve accessing a nested menu bar 
item. Normally this would require switching to the application then 
searching through the items either through quicksilver, the search feature 
in the os or by using the mouse. IF all menu bar items were available 
globally one could simply think of an action in a particular application 
and instantly switch while performing that particular action in one swoop. 
Icons would differentiate which menu bar item belongs to which app as it 
does now, with all the ranking goodness we have now. 

Maybe this would have performance issues, but there could be creative ways 
to cache some of the data, i dont know .., but in my eyes it would be EPIC!
