I think the following is actually a kind of cool solution.
I should make use of it, as I've run into this myself.
Let me know if it seems workable. Maybe the docs for add()
should recommend this in cases where one wants to have
slashes in the label for certain menu items.
To solve this correctly, maybe there should be a version of add()
that lets one specify the delimiter character to use, and if set
to 0, it would not parse for delimiters /at all/.
